I had the pleasure of meeting with our Opticianry Program faculty in the Emerging Tech Lab at Georgian College to explore "Physiology of the Eye" on Steam. What an amazing tutorial app for visualization and quiz functionality! #eye #Opticianry #VirtualReality

I gave a 15 minute talk for the GAN Angel Investors group at the Barrie Sandbox. It was a room full of entrepreneurs and investors. My talk was on the state of education in the face of artificial intelligence. I only needed one slide. ;)
