A DIGITAL demonstration centre is to open in Dunoon for six months.
The free #hellodigital initiative, run by Highland and Islands Enterprise (HIE), can be found at The Fairmile Building on the Sandbank Business Park. The programme kicks off on Monday October 2 with a Google Digital Garage talk. Experts will talk to businesses, social enterprises and community groups about digital innovations and give a them a chance to get ‘hands on’ with 360-degree cameras, virtual reality and augmented reality. Liza Moran from the HIE Argyll office said: ‘We are delighted to be bringing #hellodigital to Dunoon. It was launched in Inverness last year and more than 2,000 people have already gone along to sessions which show how new technology can help their projects grow. There’s a demand in Argyll for sessions like this. It’s especially relevant for people living outwith Scotland’s big cities, as we rely more and more on digital technologies but have fewer opportunities to keep up with developments.’
