Virtual reality grooming is an increasing danger. How can parents keep children safe?
[ad_1]
Virtual reality (VR) headsets are increasingly popular among adults and children. They are part of extended reality environments, which “enable ever more realistic and immersive experiences”.VR provides entry into computer-generated 3D worlds and games with different environments and interactions. Sometimes this is loosely referred to as the “metaverse”. The majority of VR headsets have a lower age limit of 10–13 years due to safety concerns of extended reality technologies in general and VR headsets in particular. But VR is increasingly used by young children, even of preschool age. These immersive technologies make it difficult to monitor children's physical and emotional experiences and with whom they interact. So what are the dangers, and what can we do to keep the kids safe?...
