If 2016 saw learning and development professionals gushing about the potential of virtual reality, then 2017 has seen them start to test those ideas. But where does it work well and what are the barriers to us all creating VR content?

On this week's episode of the GoodPractice podcast: Owen and Ross are joined by Marco Faccini from Immerse Learning, one of the few companies actively pursuing VR's potential for learning.
