Thanks @jdysart for sharing the Options Open Guide w/ library colleagues in North America! Libraries ensure public access to vital resources. The OO guide offers user-friendly navigational advice + tools for aging boomers/caregivers. @CanAgeSeniors @venning_mark @AARP @NIAgeing https://twitter.com/jdysart/status/1555045641067413504

@dssctr & I presented “Engaging Users with VR” for @FLVirtualCampus. We used @spatialxr to explain VR & offer ideas to show it’s potential for education, esp. exploring mockups of outer space, art museums, avatar journalists, science labs, & more.
