Is VR (Virtual Reality) Unsafe For Kids?

VR (virtual reality) headsets are topping wishlists of kids and young children all over the world. With several VR headsets coming with age restrictions, is this new technology really safe for young children? Well, there is no consensus amongst the VR headset makers on correct age to use a VR gizmo. Some are completely against children using VR, while others feel it's safe under parental supervision. Despite the paucity of studies in this area, a few studies have revealed that virtual reality could impact the developing brains of young children. Prolonged exposure to a VR environment can negatively affect brain functioning in young children. Young children may lack the reflexes to remove VR headsets if they are incorrectly fitted. Worse, kids may become so engrossed in virtual environment, that they ignore the discomfort.
