NXT Magazine - August 2023

The August 2023 Edition of NXT is here and it’s packed with exciting content about the evolution of VR technology. Breakthroughs in VR software and content have been pivotal in popularising the technology. VR gaming has been at the forefront, with an ever-growing library of immersive and captivating games. Beyond gaming, VR has found applications in virtual tourism, education, and social interaction.

Also in this issue, we see the return of the NXT ANGEL 2023 Campaign. This is the fourth instalment of the competition where we resume our search for the next female lifestyle tech writer. Head over to page 42 as we unveil the contestants - don’t forget to vote for your favourites!

Over in Test, from page 77, we got to try the Canon EOS R8, an affordable camera that delivers images and performance on par with the higher-end models, before we got our hands on the MacBook Air 15, a portable powerhouse for everyday use. Lastly, in NXT Big Thing, we look at how VR will revolutionise industries, redefine human interaction, and unlock the untapped possibilities of our imagination.
