The Coolest Thing About GPS

I'm currently doing a course, through work, delivered by BetterOn Video. The aim of the course is to improve my video presentation skills, in particular my engagement with the camera and the audience.
I made this video based on the week 2 prompt "make a video 60-90 seconds long about something you're an expert on". The idea came from a talk I used to give at the University of Oxford.
