Our team was able to reach out to more educators and introduce one of our high profile VR educational app. The VR app was developed for the Association for Special Needs (APSN), titled ‘CyberWorld Adventures’. The VR courseware took the students through an educational experience that taught them a lot of basics to stay safe online.
