Future History Lessons Will Require A Virtual Reality Headset-Derek Ham

Derek Ham, PhD, has degrees in Architecture and Design. He founded the Mixed Reality Lab and is an Associate Professor at the NC State University. His interests range widely, but tend to gravitate to AR/VR technology and content. His “I Am A Man 360 VR Experience” places the viewer within the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Worker’s Strike and also some of the events preceding Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination.
