This is Associate Professor Darren Hughes.
Darren's leading our part in BRAINSTORM, a partnership with Far-UK and TDI, creating a new design of an incredibly lightweight Very Light Rail vehicle frame which is weaved, or braided, from carbon fibre composites.

People with a range of abilities can use VR headsets to experience what it’s like on board one of the Jubilee Sailing Trust’s ships to encourage them to explore their ability and participate in a life-changing voyage thanks to an app made by one of our WMG MSc at the University of Warwick's students Tanin Aparimarn.
Tanin explains: “Using modern technologies such as VR and 3D printing will hopefully encourage more people to take up sailing with the Jubilee Sailing Trust, as n...ow they’ve been able to experience what it would be like on board thanks to the VR experience and the app tour, and they can see what they ship would look like physically because of the 3D printed model.
“I hope that in the future all sorts of tourist destinations and attractions can use VR to encourage people to visit them, as VR offers a more interactive experience than looking at photos.”
