## Description

--what is VR (I always start with a funny picture of a ‘VR headset’); used tools/hardware/software
--role/application in design educations (Computational Design studio: designing with VR = application of VR in education, design studios)
--development in research (eg City at eye-level (tracking + eye-tracking), Urban Design for Improving Health (using VR for participation), Bio-Mirror (biometrics)) 
--application/integration in graduation projects (Sensing Urban Stress = Integration of all above in one project)
--future of VR? (as discussion: where is it heading, how to scale up in education, expectations for practice)
