Show Notes
You've heard about the "metaverse" but what is it really? Do you want to don a VR headset to attend meetings and other remote events, or would you prefer a different solution?
In this week's show, we consider how the metaverse might change the world.
To learn more, we're joined by Thomas Lorenz, the CEO and founder of Journee, a metaverse company that has been providing VR and AR solutions to big names in technology for the past few years. Thomas has a slightly different view of the metaverse to that you may have read about, and he's here to outline the possibilities of the technology. He'll also tell us why you may not need a VR helmet in a few years' time.
