Whisk me off to a far away land.. take me to a place I’ve never seen before. Virtual reality is truly the best way to explore the depths of our imagination, all from the comfort of our own living room. Today’s guest is Dinh Tung “Tony” Le, a researcher from the University of Technology Sydney who's been focusing on implementing virtual reality within robotics. Tony enjoys robots, cool tech and research, which is what motivated him to pursue a career that encompases all three. Him and I met through an Australian conference on robotic vision, and after hearing about his latest work, I had to have him on the show.
