thinglink & VR

I love it when combining two technologies to make a truly fascinating result. This is an idea and I confess I haven’t tried it yet! I will and get back to you when I have tested it. Using VR headsets like Google Cardboard are now cheap and being sold at all sorts of outlets now from garages to cheap stores you can use your smartphone to access content that is immersive and interactive. A perfect marriage would be using thinklink and a VR headset. For an example of how this might look click below. Sorry the links and sounds are in french!

Let you know when I have tried it out. Feel there may be some steps to take to make it VR friendly.

“After one of your recent training sessions, I visited your Techsavvy session and discovered the virtual tour guides. A a result my husband and I enjoyed a splendid trip to Edinburgh. A city I have avoided for a number of years due to its challenges for a wheelchair user due to its very steep streets and cobbles. I think the sessions you have posted are really good and I hoped you would be happy if I suggested these to clients, I am assisting in my volunteering journey. I am also liaising with a local charity who are trying to encourage their older members and I think they too could benefit from your regular hints and tips so would like to suggest they pass on the Techsavvy links. You really are an inspiration.” –
