Good afternoon on Wednesday May 20th.

The thought leadership program recently produced and interesting video exploring how virtual reality may change how we interact in a post COVID world.

Even a global pandemic can’t quite stamp out the natural human instinct to seek and discover. Rather than venture out however, we are logging in to the Internet in ever increasing numbers to visit the likes of the British Museum or Paris’s Louvre.
