Over the past few years, a number of advancements in the realm of virtual reality technology have made it possible for a whole new world of kid-friendly VR entertaining and educational content to be offered to kids. More than ever before, this tech-savvy generation wants to take an active role in the creation of their own experiences, exemplified in innovations like the animates series 'Morgan Lives in a Rocket House in VR,' which makes it possible for kids to choose the camera angles they view the cartoon from.
As the cost of most VR headsets is prohibitive for many parents, the technology is being made accessible to children with inexpensive VR viewers in fast food meal sets and cereal boxes.
Virtual reality is also completely reshaping everything from the way kids browse the toy aisle to the way they learn a variety of concepts in the classroom.
