We look at the very real benefits that new VIRTUAL REALITY technology could bring for learning, anxiety therapy, empathy awareness and entertainment, as discussed by scientists (full disclosure: this is what Jack does for a day-job, please forgive his enthusiasm). We also serve up a heart-warming story of a young hot-dog entrepreneur and the city that chose to support him.
