How to solve “Zoom Fatigue” with a more immersive AR meet mobile app

In plain words

Vara is an augmented reality mobile app designed to reduce video call fatigue by creating more immersive meeting experiences. Launched in 2020, it targets remote workers and teams seeking alternatives to traditional video conferencing. The app uses AR technology to make virtual meetings feel more engaging and interactive than standard Zoom-style calls, potentially decreasing the cognitive strain associated with prolonged screen-based communication.
