2L Representative
Filip Hrga
My name is Filip Hrga. I am happy to call myself the 2L rep for the LTSS. As a former gamer, I've always been fascinated by the thought of highly realistic virtual reality gaming, and just virtual reality in general. Before I graduate, I am hoping to complete a directed research project analyzing all forms of rights and issues that can arise in virtual reality and what kind of real-world, and virtual, remedies and obstacles may, do, or should exist.
