“Where are you?”
“I'm in a gold mine in Ghana.”
On 11 February, participants in the Centre’s second annual Innovation Day had the chance to step into the classrooms of tomorrow—without leaving the Turin campus. The ITCILO invited six virtual reality companies to share their ideas about the future of learning and training. The event, organized like a fair, allowed participants to learn about each technology, ask questions, and try the experience for a few minutes before moving on to the next stand.
