Want your little ones to work hard, play hard? VR technology may be able to help. With PolyU<\/a>, CUHK<\/a>, and other esteemed universities investing in million-dollar VR facilities, it seems that an increasing number of students in Hong Kong will get to use VR equipment to learn and have fun in the process. Allowing students to immerse themselves and interact with each other on the VR interface may make learning a lot less mundane. Do you think you\u2019ll enjoy VR classes more? We certainly wish we had these back when we were at school!<\/p>\n
