Panel Discussion on VR for Impact
and Empathy, September 15th 2017

I am delighted to confirm that the next free CPD in VR event will take place on September 15th. Once again this event will take place inside Engage from Immersive VR Education and will be open to educators worldwide. Engage can be accessed using an HTC Vive, Oculus Rift or directly from a PC. It does not currently support the Mac.

VR for Impact and Empathy panel discussion

TIME: 8pm UAE time (5pm UK time, 12pm EST)

This panel discussion will focus on the VR for Impact programme and creating empathetic experiences within VR. It will be hosted by VirtualiTeach founder Steve Bambury and features some very special guests on the panel:

He co-founded the non-profit organization EUVR.org as well as the VR startup realities.io.
