In the summer of 2022, with the war in Ukraine raging, we were called up to do something extraordinary by the Founders Forum, a global community of businesses and entrepreneurs. Travelling to the Presidential Palace in Kyiv, the Ukrainian leader’s call for support was broadcast live from his headquarters, and beamed simultaneously into major tech-conferences across Europe. It also went direct to individuals worldwide on smart phones using immersive AR technology.
