Avatars in the Classroom- The 21st Century Immersive Learning Experience

Participants will be brought on a wonderful interactive guided Virtual Reality journey to see, to hear and to interact with students and staff of the Insight Centre of Data Analytics as they present their technology projects within a computer-generated simulated university lecture hall, followed by a visit to a technology heritage room to look at iconic electronic business, communications and games devices from the Computer and Communications Museum of Ireland, then to view displays of ‘Data Muses’ on the theme of art in data, and finally walk through a gallery dedicated to research in areas such as Smart Cities, Connected Health and Climate Change.
