WORKSHOP 4 VR

VR in Healthcare Education
I would like to participate remotely from New Zealand in Virtual Reality. I have been working on VR solutions for remote teaching and collaboration. This work includes distance medical consultations and remote training for first-responders. This session will allow participants to either watch on the big screen, or on their own computers, or connect on the mobile phone in 360 video. This is very much a work in progress where the gaming technology is being used to help engage participants.
