At the end of the session:- Attendees will have an understanding of the different ways Virtual Reality (VR) can be used as a tool for engagement.
- Case studies will be given from the Netherlands and the UK providing a comparison between different approaches and uses of VR.
- Attendees should be able to think about how the main aims of a project could be supported by using Virtual Reality.
