Hologram, an all-in-one platform for virtual beings, today announced that it has raised $6.5 million in seed funding for avatars that you can use in video calls.

The whole aim is to enable avatars to move across applications, much like you would expect them to do in the metaverse, the universe of virtual worlds that are all interconnected, like in novels such as Snow Crash and Ready Player One.
