Are video calls the best we can do in the age of the metaverse? | Josephine Eyre | TED Talk

In her TED Talk, Josephine Eyre examines the remote work landscape, asking the question “Are video calls the best we can do in the age of the metaverse?” As a social anthropologist, Eyre takes a high-level look at how virtual work has redefined how we interact and communicate with one another. Eyre identifies how humanity’s reliance on technology and existing office paradigms are restricting creativity in environments where creative mindsets are crucial, thus having a negative impact on our ability to thrive in the hybrid workplace. Eyre examines the benefits of the metaverse and how it can be used to create experiential, immersive meeting spaces designed to spark creativity and innovation, rather than simply mirror a traditional workplace.
