Virtual reality lets us experience a world different from the one we live in. And much like the disruptive technologies that came before it - from electricity to TV, computers and smartphones - there’s no longer any doubt that it will significantly impact the way we live.
If you’re interested in the future of VR, don’t miss out on this fascinating lecture with Dave Ranyard, virtual reality developer and former studio head of Sony London. Over the course of the evening, you’ll learn about the past, present and future of VR, and gain a deeper understanding of its social potential.
The evening will particularly appeal to those with an interest in computer games and development, as well as anyone interested in new cultural directions, cutting-edge technology, TV and entertainment. Tickets are limited so book your place now - and learn how virtual reality will impact the ways we experience and interact with the worlds around us.
This Masterclass is run in partnership with Goldsmiths, a constituent college within the University of London, specialising in the arts, design, social sciences and creative technology
