Meta Quest VR for Schools: Complete Visibility and Control Required, Says Nick Clegg
Meta's Meta Quest VR headsets will not be used in schools under their new scheme unless teachers have full visibility and control over students' activities, and parents are comfortable with it, according to Meta's President, Nick Clegg.
The metaverse, a 3D immersive virtual world, has raised concerns about child safety.
Meta, formerly Facebook, has introduced a new package for schools to use virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) as an educational tool.
This allows teachers to use VR headsets for multiple students in the classroom simultaneously.
Students aged 13 and above can enter the metaverse for immersive lessons, including virtual museum visits, language practice, and 3D environments.
Meta has also introduced a "shared mode" feature, which restricts students' access to the Meta Quest store and keeps their identities anonymous to other users.
The speaker believes that using the metaverse for education will provide a more engaging, participatory, and immersive experience for students.
The metaverse is a term for 3D virtual worlds where people can interact and create shared spaces using headsets.
Examples of metaverse platforms include Fortnite, Roblox, and Meta's Horizon Worlds.
The teachers will have full control in this environment to ensure safety.
