In this episode, we interview Kwaku Aning and discuss his use of VR and 360 videos, specifically his "I am From Fiji" 360 film series on climate change that can be found and viewed on youtube here (link to others below). Kwaku is also the cohost of the podcast @RadioZamunda, and is hosting the "Students as Makers: The Future of VR" conference in LA on June 10th.
