The world’s largest toy company Mattel (Mattel) recently and Google launched a virtual reality head-mounted device View-Master, the device based on Google’s launch of the Cardboard, as well as the world’s first virtual reality equipment developed for children.
Venturebeat has recently received a foreign media, and simple tests. The media came to the conclusion that: the technology for parents, like the game boy, with 30 dollars for a View-Master is definitely worth it.
But you don’t expect the $ 30 device can bring to children how realistic, immersive experience, although this is a good place to start.
The device and not as advanced as Oculus Rift, which is based on Google’s Cardboard design only in child-oriented applications are optimized and improved, and used different materials. And like Cardboard, still need a smart phone as the device display. Applications are compatible with the device designed for Cardboard, developers do not need to develop applications for the device additional.
After all, after all this equipment was developed for children, the children have any views on this? Venturebeat found a little girl two and a half years old to test wear View-Master when the test will be set up to the little girl’s head. She soon saw the scene in virtual reality.
“The elephant! “She cheered, but soon lost interest.
However, according to Mattel introduced this product is designed for children over 7 years old, and is not recommended for use by children under 4 years of age, but it seems even a 2 year old child can easily control.
If Mattel’s goal is for children to design a fun virtual reality devices, seem to be doing pretty good, but in terms of virtual reality content aimed at children, still needs a lot of effort.
