Is Virtual Reality the Future of Adult Education?
An estimated 70-75% of the 36 million adults who need literacy support have access to a smartphone, and while many of these phones are older models that would struggle to run the more high-end VR apps, this still leaves millions of adults who are eager to learn and can access virtual reality software on devices they already own. The $7M Barbara Bush Foundation Adult Literacy XPRIZEpresented by Dollar General Literacy Foundation is an effort to catalyze this needed momentum, as the competition incentivizes teams from all over the world to develop autonomous mobile learning software for low-literacy adults.
