Meta Lowers Minimum Age for VR Headset to 10 Years Old
TL;DR
Meta will allow children as young as 10 to use its VR headsets with parental approval. Parents will be able to control which apps their children use and set time limits. Meta will use the data collected to deliver an age-appropriate experience and will not serve ads to this age group. However, there are potential hazards of VR, including the potential erosion or delay of a child's "reality distinctions." Parents should talk to their children and be careful about how long and how seriously they engage with this technology.
