So honored to be featured in The Hustle, written by the amazing Juliet Bennett Rylah, who perfectly captured our mission to bring live theatre to VR. Thank you for shining a light on immersive storytelling...and there’s a promo code in there for our November shows!

All the (digital) world’s a stage
Ferryman Collective is producing live theater... but it's in VR. All attendees need is a compatible headset to enter their fantastical worlds.

'Like talking on the telephone': Quantum computing engineers get atoms chatting long distance
UNSW engineers have made a significant advance in quantum computing: they created 'quantum entangled states'—where two separate particles become so deeply linked they no longer behave independently—using the spins of two atomic nuclei.
