NORCAT (Northern Centre for Advanced Technology Inc.) is finding ways to use Virtual Reality as a more hands-on learning experience.



Ed Wisniewski director of software development and information technology, along with NORCAT`s art director Andrew Kostuik have been working on using the Oculus Rift for practical purposes by developing engaged-learning software applications focused on health and safety in the workplace, at home, and in the community.
