Oculus VR: ‘Classrooms are broken. Kids don’t learn the best by reading books’

Palmer Luckey thinks virtual reality can bring 'real-world experience' to more children - and become 'more ubiquitous than the smartphone'

Games were the earliest showcases for virtual reality company Oculus VR's technology, but its founder Palmer Luckey thinks it will have important applications for education in the future.

"I think there's a lot of potential for virtual reality in the education industry " Classrooms are broken. Kids don't learn the best by reading books," he said at the Web Summit conference in Dublin.
