Immersive technologies have the potential to transform the way we live, work and play. And in this episode Matthew and Cindy explore the relationship between immersive technologies and standards.

In part 2, they speak to Chris Gunby, also of AIXR, about some of the applications for immersive technologies, and have a go at using a VR headset themselves! In part 3, Matthew talks to IST/31 member Chapman Lee about the role and influence of gaming in the development of immersive technologies. Finally, in part 4, Matthew speaks to Joy Tan about BSI's motivations for developing standards in this area.
