Description

I'm joined by Dr Matthew Collins, a Senior Lecturer (Education) in the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science to talk about the history of Virtual Reality, and what research projects he and his students are involved in.



Dr Collins is also the academic lead for the EEECS VR lab based in the Computer Science Building.
