Using the Bodyswaps system on our virtual reality headsets will allow you to experience what it would be like to take part in a panel interview or present to an audience - without the nerves of early attempts in front of humans!

Everyone is welcome. Sessions range from 5 minutes to one hour, depending on your requirements.
