OPINION - Wimbledon stars train in virtual reality: Tech & Science Daily podcast

Anyone for digital tennis? Because a virtual reality company reckons more pro athletes will soon be using VRtech for training.

As Wimbledon gets underway, Sense Arena vice-president Yannick Yoshizawa tells Tech & Science Daily how their VR headset and racket is designed to “warm-up the brain” on court, like an upgraded Nintendo Wii.

The firm’s working with Wimbledon women’s champion record-holder Martina Navratilova on the technology.

The whole source code for the original title in CD Projekt Red’s hit Far Cry series has been leaked online.

Research by the Clean Cities Campaign finds illegal levels of toxic air in areas of outer London being targeted by the Ulez expansion.
