The best VR-apps for kids
The 4 Best Child-Friendly VR Apps
For any younger users of Cardboard VR Glasses, these apps promise a lot of fun, a lot of excitement and, potentially, a lot of learning.
1. Google’s Expeditions (Free) – Google’s Expeditions were previously limited to certain US schools, but it can now be downloaded for free on the Google Play Store. Thanks to this app, your kids can experience tours of a range of different places around the world, from the Antarctic to NYC and Buckingham Palace. They can even take tours inside the human body to learn how the many biological systems actually work.
2. Jurassic Land (Free, With In-App Purchases) – With this new app, your kids can experience what it is like to come up close and personal with dinosaurs. Taking the form of a Safari Park (think Jurassic Park, rather than Jurassic World) your kids will hop aboard a jeep that lets them actually meet dinosaurs of various types, including the fierce T-Rex. Jurassic Land will continue to be updated, with new sectors and new dinosaurs added over time.
3. Lamper Cardboard: First Flight (Free) – A great little video game designed specifically for cardboard VR glasses. The player takes on the form of a firefly and dodges obstacles by moving their head to control their flight. Lamper Cardboard: First Flight is probably best for those who are already comfortable with video games, but it’s easy to pickup and fun to play.
4. Froggy VR (Free, With In-App Purchases) – The bold graphics and cool audio make Froggy VR a really interesting experience for any up and coming VR user. In it, the player controls a small frog trying to get back to its home. In it, you need to fight off enemies and make it through various zones. It might not last too long, but it’s a fun and satisfying experience while it lasts.
