He also serves on several boards, including the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. What excites James most about XR is its potential to transform education, giving people access to new experiences and helping them develop skills in ways never before possible. He believes we have only begun to explore what XR can do to accelerate and deepen learning.
