It is incredible how much technology has come along over the past few decades. In addition to that, it is unbelievable how much of it we realised could be repurposed and utilised during the COVID-19 pandemic. I for one found a whole new way to keep fit and healthy using my virtual reality headset. It is incredible the number of apps and games you can get now. One minute you are sat in the office and then next you are fighting off zombies with a sword. The possibilities are seemingly endless. What I think is most impressive is that we have invented something (that something being virtual reality) and we are not using it to hurt or destroy anything in the usual way that humans do, but instead utilising it to create connections with people. Over the past 12 months I have received two requests to re-create rooms in blender to be used within virtual reality. Although, they seemed like strange requests at first they actually turned out to be new ways for people to connect in times of isolation.
