Kids In The Game Shows How Technology Can Help Children Get Active

Just moments earlier, elementary school students at Corpus Christi School had run through relay races and jumping jacks designed to get their heart rate going. Now they were watching a VR video of themselves in action.

“That was wicked!” one student exclaimed, his eyes still widened after having removed the headset.

“I can’t see my feet!” another said as he wiggled them while wearing the headset to watch himself in VR.
