I bought a new toy. The VR device cost only 25€ and I put my mobile into it and had fun. It is great to see 3D films, animations and 360 degree pictures. I started to be interested in the new technic and I went to the trade show photokina which was last week in cologne. 

I went to the big camera companies to find out about 360 degree cameras. The prices varies from 500-5000€.  It is all new and new cameras will come out soon. Even the company did not know their products.

I started thinking how to use this in training and education. I see a lot of opportunities for the water training. It is new, it’s creasy but worth to thing about. I tested my new device with an 6 year old boy. He loved it. I tested it with a 84 grandfather. He nearly fall down and refused to try it again. 

I think that this new device will have a big impact in training and education. The other creasy new technology – the 3D printer is also next on my agenda. That will my next toy to buy. Technology is fascinating me. 

I 1990 I bought my first laptop in Singapore and my first small inkjet printer. Nothing special today but at that time it was hot. In 1994 we bought the first IBM PC with two floppy disk for 6000€. I did my first VisiCalc cashflow calculation at that time – what a show. In 1996 I was in the team to set up the first website for my company DWA. I learned a bit HTML. 

Stay nosy and ask questions – at least I will continue to do it – it’s fun.
