I want to start off by apologising for the lack of recordings from my #CPDinVR events of late. We've had some stellar guests on delivering presentations, speaking on panels or joining me for my Live From Dubai chatshow and for various reasons I've not been able to share recordings for the last few events.

This is partly due to our deployment of Office 365 across JESS Dubai, partly due to my need for a “superlaptop”to run my HTC Vive (I use an Acer Predator) and partly due to our

A couple of years ago I played around with an iPad app that allowed you to create a virtual art gallery. The app (3D Gallery) allowed you to import images to place on the gallery walls then use a touchscreen interface to move around and view them. It was basic but effective though it lacked a lot of features that could have elevated it (like the ability to screencast or share the gallery.)

It blew my mind and for the first time in a long time gave me the feeling of seeing something genuinely groundbreaking in action.
