Meta Launches Educational VR Product for Schools

The new VR headsets are designed to enhance classroom learning for students aged 13 and above, with robust safety controls and educational features.

Meta's new educational VR product aims to transform classroom experiences by allowing students to virtually visit places and learn about complex subjects.
The product will be available later this year, targeting secondary schools with students aged 13 and older.
Nick Clegg highlighted the importance of safety, ensuring that teachers and parents feel confident in the technology's use in educational settings.
Educators and researchers have helped develop the product, which includes features like 'shared mode' to prevent unauthorized app downloads.
Competitors like Apple are also advancing in the educational VR space, but Meta's lower price point gives it a competitive edge.
