This is one of a few projects we've been keeping under our hat recently, so it's with great pleasure we can talk publicly about it now -- Froglife's TOADSVR is now out on Google Play and it's free to download on Android phones! This is a simple virtual reality journey that allows users a chance to see the conservation threats facing the UK's toads from the perspective of the toads themselves.
