In April, Inderjit (Indy) Singh will present on Virtual Reality, one of many topics he can cover as an Adjunct Professor in Collin College’s Continuing Education program.
Given that we only have one hour at Saturday’s NTPCUG meeting, Indy will no doubt be abbreviating the information he will be providing at Collin college, including:
- History of VR and latest industry trends
- Experiences in using the latest VR headsets
- Use cases for different industries
- … and more
Indy can also refer you to his Continuing Education class, which begins April 25th.
