Overview
Diverse literature is a key tool in building empathy, positive self-esteem and community. However, understanding the characters can be difficult without an experience of the environment. Through immersive virtual and augmented reality, experiences are being built for our students where they can develop true understanding of the characters, their classmates and the challenges they experience.
