The School Children loved every-moment of the Virtual Reality demonstration and this was possibly one of our most busiest virtual reality activation ever, we literally had thousands of kids going through the experience one after another.

Virtual Reality for Education is one of the most powerful mediums students and teachers can use to learn about stuff, places, history, biology, engineering and geography! Learners can be transported from one learning experience to the other, it is fully immersive and interactive and there is little distractions from the outside world when people are inside the Virtual Reality experience. Studies have shown that students learn better in Virtual Reality than using traditional teaching methods.

Virtual Reality can benefit everyone. People that is more privileged than others can benefit from virtual reality education as well as people from less privileged communities. The beauty of Virtual Reality is that you do not need fancy infrastructure or fancy science labs or buildings for it to work. When you have the basic equipment you can Teleport people into these infrastructures and fancy buildings and science labs without these being physically present at the place where the person is using Virtual Reality. VR teleports the person into the infrastructure and is something that can benefit all students in South Africa.
