Playroom

We have arranged a virtual reality playroom for you to come and try out a range of devices that are starting to make inroads in education and industry learning. See what Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard can do. Try out some virtual chemistry blocks. Open all day from morning tea so drop in any time.

Video Studio tours

Discover what video recording facilities we have on campus and how you can output high quality green screen video with little support needed. These will start from the Playroom. Open all day from morning tea so drop in any time.

Dinner

We have arranged an informal opt-in dinner for attendees at Little India in the centre of Hamilton. If you would like to attend please sign up at the registration desk on Thursday. Cost will be $35 for the shared banquet meal. Little India is highly recommended and there will be plenty food for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Places are limited so please sign up early.

Thanks!
