Can VR teach us how to deal with sexual harassment?


Immersive virtual reality trains students and employees on how actions can lead to harassment and discrimination in schools and the workplace. These interactive games have shown to be effective at helping people retain information in pilot studies. Sexual assault survivors and public health experts are supporting this approach. There is also a push to engage people earlier in this kind of training rather than waiting until college, and researchers are finding the games become catalysts for young people to discuss sensitive issues, like consent.
