Driving The Future: A Virtual Reality experience

A free Virtual Reality (VR) experience allowing participants to step into the role of a delivery driver and explore how VR could be integrated into future workplaces, using the logistics industry as a case study. Each participant can expect to spend 20–30 minutes in the experience. The main event is the VR experience itself, followed by optional discussion and reflection on the implications of VR in working lives.

This event explores the role of virtual reality (VR) as a technology for future workplaces, offering participants an engaging, hands-on immersive experience. Attendees will step into a guided VR simulation that encourages reflection on the potential impact of VR in the workplace. The event also provides an opportunity for willing participants to contribute optional research data, while fostering discussion and critical thinking about the social implications of VR and its role in shaping the future of work
