The Mixed Reality lab at the University of Nottingham has been studying virtual and augmented reality for decades. We chatted to Steve Benford, Paul Tennent & Edgar Bodiaj from the Mixed Reality Lab & Kate Wellham from Live Cinema about their system 'Bubbles' and how it fits with the current state of VR and the benefits over Zoom & Teams meetings.
The VR environment shown in the video is not Meta/Facebook's 'Metaverse', it is a virtual environment created by the mixed reality lab at the University of Nottingham, used here to illustrate some of the benefits of VR over traditional online meetings.
