Polish Professionals in London zaprasza na seminarium na temat wirtualnej rzeczywistości (VR), technologii i możliwości zastosowania. Wirtualna rzeczywistość określana jest jako obraz sztucznej rzeczywistości, stworzony przy wykorzystaniu informatycznych techniologii. Wirtualna i wzbogacona rzeczywistość likwiduje mur między odbiorcą o osobą opowiadającą historię o swojej firmie, produkcie, usłudze. VR zapewnia użytkownikowi poczucie "obecności" czyli złudzenie bycia fizycznie obecnym w innym miejscu. Technologia VR daje nam możliwość, abyśmy byli aktywnymi uczestnikami zamiast pasywnymi widzami. Korzystając z urządzeń VR możemy patrzeć gdziekolwiek chcemy i współdziałać z wirtualnym światem w sposób, który wcześniej nie był możliwy. Podczas spotkania będzie okazja zobaczyć sprzęt wykorzystywany w VR. Spotkanie poprowadzi Artur Fiedorowicz. Kilka słów o prowadzącym Artur Fiedorowicz, absolwent elektroniki na Politechnice Wrocławskiej, pracował w londyńskich korporacjach jako software engineer i IT developement. Artur zaczął swoją przygodę z VR wygrywając międzynarodowy hackathon organizowany przez Ticketmaster / Live Nation ze swoim pomysłem na podgląd widoku z wybranego siedzenia w teatrze lub stadionie. Kilka miesięcy temu zrezygnował z pracy w korporacji i założył firmę ArtsyVR tworzącą aplikacje VR dla firm marketingowych i technologicznych. Przemawiał na konferencjach w Londynie, Moskwie, Madrycie i Polsce, ale najczęściej możecie znaleźć go na Twitterze (artsyvr) gdzie dostarcza nowinek na temat świata Virtual, Augmented oraz Mixed reality. Spotkanie organizujemy przy współpracy z firmą Capital Business Links, która na potrzeby spotkania udostepnia sali seminaryjnej w swojej siedzibie na Ealing. http://polskie-biuro-ksiegowe.co.uk/ http://cblfinance.com/

Purpose The purpose of these regional roadshows should be as follows: -       Raise the profile of EDS2 as a vehicle for change -       Identify the connections and links between EDS2 and various other diversity / equality initiatives including (but not limited to) the workforce race equality standard (WRES), the accessible information standard, the DH learning disabilities programme, the workforce disability equality standard and the sexual orientation standards work -       Share good and best practice in the use of EDS2 – including the EDS2 voluntary and community sector engagement guide -       Explore how EDS2 can be employed and utilise by organisations more effectively in order to influence organisational / cultural change Audience The target audience for the roadshows should be: -       Diversity and inclusion managers within provider trusts and CCGs -       Human Resource Directors and managers within provider trusts and CCGs -       Organisational development managers within provider trusts and CCGs -       Service managers and leads within provider trusts and CCGs Format The roadshows will consist of a three hour session. The sessions will be divided into two parts and will take the form of a mini-hackathon. The first part will focus on what the challenges are with EDS2. It will look at the format and structure of EDS2 and critically de-construct it to see what its weaknesses are; what doesn’t work at all; what works a little; and (critically) what needs to change. The second part will focus on the positive aspects of EDS2. It will look at the format and structure of EDS2 and assess its strengths: what works well; why things work well; and what we need to more of. Our proposal is that for the first session we will break the delegates up into four separate groups – one looking at / thinking about the structure of EDS2 as a model / framework; one looking at / thinking about the language of EDS2; one looking at / thinking about how well (or not) EDS2 links across or “talks to” other diversity initiatives in the NHS; and one looking at / thinking about EDS2 as a vehicle of change. Each of the four groups will be led / facilitated by a nominated person that we have invited. We will be inviting guests from the workforce race equality standard, learning disability and equalities and health inequalities teams. The second session will break the delegates into three groups – but set them the following tasks: firstly, how can EDS2 be better promoted / publicised in order to make it more accessible?; secondly, how can EDS2 be better structured / formatted / presented in order to make it more user friendly?; and thirdly, how can EDS2 be used more effectively within organisations as a vehicle of change? Each group will be asked to propose 3 or 4 recommendations to the group that they can vote on using our in-house voting system. A plenary session will capture the thoughts / feedback.
