Aitch - Þei/ÞemFinally, one of my favourite tech topics: Augmented and Virtual Reality. I’ve got a bit of a nerd thing for XR Accessibility, always sticking my nose in wherever I can to see how and where accessibility for AR&VR is going, because it’s such a fascinating topic.

It’s bloody depressing is what that is.
