Profile
[NPO Earth Dialogue Lab]
Earth Dialogue Lab pursues the concept of "two-way communication" and a relationship in which both parties gain something and give something, not a one-way street. Unlike television and other media, video interaction is interactive. Such media have been used to create two-way connections between distant parts of the globe.
We think VR, which we're working on now, will evolve that connection and bring deeper sharing of each other's challenges and difficulties.
