The future and benefit of virtual reality
Join us for a business lunch accompanied with presentations and Q&A to explore future applications of VR technology
Our Aberdeen & Grampian branch, in partnership with Fourways Group and VR-EP, will host this event looking at the role virtual reality and digital transformation can play in the healthcare industry and beyond.
The role that VR can play in making lives easier for carers and families will be explored, as will the impact that can be made across sectors by business leaders aiming to foster greater social inclusion for employees with neurodivergent conditions.
Alongside a cabaret-style luncheon where you can network with others, the venue will host live demos, interactive presentations, and Q&A to examine what VR technology can do to make life better for others.
