Hacking VR Speaker Series: Jessica Brillhart, “VR in Science”

Open Doc Lab: MIT Building E15, Room 318 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, MA

Google has been at the forefront of exploring new ways to shoot 360, VR stories. As the medium develops, how can VR be used to raise awareness about science-related project? How can it be used to tell stories about our bodies, our health? VR in developments sometimes mean collaborations with doctors, neuroscientists, data scientists. How can scientific knowledge inform creation and creation inform science?
