The ongoing discussions related to the collective actions taken to protect people for getting sick encouraged them to avoid large groups or even consider (self)isolation.
Hypermedia evaluated the impact of the latest approaches towards human interactions and decided to offer the community a free video-collaboration tool, HyperTalk. As we discussed in a previous article, HyperTalk represents a solution developed to make communication easier anytime, anywhere. It provides remote assistance for face-to-face discussions over HD audio/video right from your browser, without the need of any software.
As education and health represent two strong pillars of our society, we believe this solution will help the community to easily adapt to any restrictive context. Schools are closing and people are trying more and more to avoid going in crowded spaces, especially hospitals or educational institutions.
A sustainable society recovers quickly by adapting the right methods.
