ITU
Digital transformation is blurring the boundaries between our physical and virtual worlds and this transformation has gained further impetus with COVID-19.
Things, places and people are being mirrored in a parallel virtual world, creating immersive new communications experiences and fundamental shifts in business and education as well as healthcare, automotive, logistics, retail and entertainment.
But is society ready for this future? Is this vision centred around people and our best interests? And how could technical standards and policy and regulation help us to shape the future we want?
These are among the key questions to be considered by ITU Kaleidoscope 2021: Connecting physical and virtual worlds – ITU’s flagship academic event – scheduled for 6-10 December online.
