Rotorua's Matt Browning was one of the speakers at the Technology Day on Wednesday.
Co-director of Salt and Tonic, along with Andrew Wilson, he gave a talk in the Discovery Space about virtual reality technology.
He says he talked about what virtual and augmented reality is, because people know about it but have not necessarily had the chance experience it, along with what value people can get out of it from a business point of view.
There were then plenty of "wows" and laughter as those in the audience were able to give it a go.
Matt thinks it is cool for the public to get a cross section experience of all the amazing happenings in Rotorua through Te Aka Mauri.
"It's really cool to have Te Aka Mauri here, and celebrate it being used well with different designs and spaces."
He says it is great a Technology Day was included in the themed festivities because people cannot get away from technology and it is involved in everything people do.
"I think a lot of people shy away from technology or don't understand the full benefit that can come from knowing about technology.
"Having this in the library space is a unique way of getting people to learn about that."
