When diplomats from around the world convene in New York for the annual General Assembly on 24 September, they will be greeted by a dramatic interactive exhibit of technological innovations in the humanitarian sector.
The exhibit will use virtual reality, "augmented reality" and other audio-visual platforms to illustrate ways the United Nations in improving humanitarian response. Examples featured include blockchain, digital cash, biometrics, drones, satellite imagery and data surveys by mobile phone.
The exhibit is presented jointly by the World Food Programme, UN Global Pulse and the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data. Representatives of all three will be available for interviews.
