The Green Planet


Photo by Seamus Ryan

The Green Planet is an exhibition in London which provides visitors with an augmented reality experience in which they can traverse a series of plant-based biomes, guided by a David Attenborough avatar viewed through a 5G-connected smartphone. The photo shows a user in the exhibition, enjoying The Green Planet experience.

CHARITY project meeting in Heidelberg

The CHARITY project meeting in Heidelberg, Germany on 14-15 October 2021 was the first in-person project meeting organised by Eurescom since the Corona pandemic spread across Europe more than 1.5 years earlier. It was also the first in-person encounter of the CHARITY partners, 9 months after the project had started. The photo shows Antonis Protopsaltis from ORamaVR demonstrating CHARITY’s virtual-reality based medical training use case.

Further information about the CHARITY project is available at https://charity-project.eu

Virtual exhibition booth

At this year’s fully virtual EuCNC & 6G Summit on 8–11 June 2021 also the booths in the exhibition were virtual. The image shows the virtual booth of 5G PPP project 5G EVE, which offered information via video and brochure as well as live access to a 5G EVE expert team.

Another virtual meeting

The new reality of European research and innovation events in times of corona looks like this: two people –Jean-Eric Paquet, Director-General Research and Innovation, and Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth – are standing on a stage in Brussels. The four panelists in their session sit in their (home) offices across Europe. And so do all the participants watching the panel session.

The snapshot, or in this case rather screenshot, was taken at the European Research and Innovation Days on 22nd September 2020.

Further information is available on the European Research and Innovation Days website at
https://research-innovation-days.ec.europa.eu/ and in the event article in this issue of Eurescom message.

World’s first graduation ceremony with avatars

On 28 March 2020, the world’s first graduation ceremony with avatars took place in Tokyo, Japan. Kenichi Ohmae, president of the Graduate School at BBT University, handed over diplomas to two “newme” communication avatars, who represented the graduates. The avatars provided by ANA Holdings were remotely operated by the graduates. Due to the coronavirus lockdown, they were not able to attend the ceremony in person.
