Virtual reality and augmented reality have opened up a range of new opportunities for journalists and publishers — as well as new challenges.

In this video, made for students on the MA in Data Journalism and the MA in Media Production at Birmingham City University, I explain what types of stories and projects suit these technologies, what to consider when using them, and some useful techniques from those who have worked in the field.

The MA courses at BCU have an open day in June: you can register here.

You can find links to all of the examples used in the video on the YouTube page.

This video is shared as part of a series of video posts.
