Virtual reality could encourage pro-social behaviour and empathy in children
The report found that while parents remained cautious around the technology, with 60 per cent at least "somewhat concerned" that their children will experience negative health effects, it also extolled the benefits of VR for fostering empathy and pro-social behaviour.
However, just 38 per cent of all parents think VR will help children empathise with different people. This number jumps up slightly to 53 per cent among parents of eight to 17-year-olds who are already using VR.
