1. Are the VR headsets suitable for everyone?
For most people yes, headsets can be adjusted to fit both children and adults. Those with significant vision impairment or high sensitivity to motion sickness may find it unsuitable (glasses are usually ok to wear under the headset). Age range: We recommend age groups from Grade 1 upwards. 2. Do we service Early Learning centres? Unfortunately no. The equipment is generally not suitable for use by children under 6. Due to size, weight, visual experiences and physical dexterity required to operate headsets. 3. Are there any health concerns? (The following is taken from ClassVR Health and Safety information) Usage time: "We recommend that ClassVR is used for not more that 15 minutes in any one lesson. Short VR sessions are very engaging and are the perfect way to open a topic or reinforce a key point. The ClassVR player includes a notification to the teacher when any student has been in VR for longer than this recommended time, which is also the limit recommended for children by optometrists." Seizures: "Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have severe dizziness, seizures, eye or muscle twitching or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, and this may occur while they are watching TV, playing video games or experiencing virtual reality, even if they have never had a seizure or blackout before or have no history of seizures or epilepsy." 4. Do I need to provide internet access? No, we bring our own modem to access the internet. 5. Is there an option for students who do not wish to wear the headsets? Yes, the lesson can also be viewed on a large screen or, we can provide tablets with similar learning tools pre-loaded (non VR, but some AR). We generally find that most students will wear them, even if initially unsure, it's too good to resist! |
