Mindful that children have been a “hands off” audience to now, Dubit has researched young people’s comfort, safety, engagement and interests with virtual reality. We are already a leading content analyst, operating a free download site, WEARVR.com, and helping clients with emerging strategies. We’re exploring these big questions; how can we help you?
Content In VR, what is “sticky,” “deep” and “social”? Will gaming or experiences lead the way in VR for children? How can VR be used for narrative? When do kids care about VR immersion vs. 360 vs. 3D?
Distribution & Sustainability Will people buy one all-purpose device or several for different uses? Will the hardware market support one or several providers? What will people pay for VR content, and under what business models?

In VR, if a story is told well, it is actually all about you.
• Make eye contact.
• Don’t get too close to crying characters.
• Appreciate that you no longer have a fourth wall.
