My 2 year old Son has tried my Rift

My Son has seen my rift on the desk many times before as he likes to sit on my knee while I work, he usually just ignores it and orders youtube on the second monitor.

He finally asked what it was so I said they are special glasses (I wear glasses), so he picked it up and put it on his head (holding it to is eyes, as it wasn't adjusted for his head).

He started looking around, "look there is water!" pointing in front of him.

So I put Invasion on, as it starts in space he kept saying "make it morning!", then it started and the rabbit ran over he looking at it "its a rabbit!". then the spaceship came over and he keeps looking back at the bunny and the ship, had a good chuckly witht he frozen alien and then kicked off as I took it off his head before it destroys his eye sight.

Funny when I think about it, its like my first experience of a BBC micro as a young child, just the tech has moved on quite a bit.

My little one is 20 months old now. She can't speak in full sentences yet.

Maybe I'll let her try my rift some time. Would be funny to watch how she reacts 🙂

My son is just 8 years old and i did not show him the rift. He played through Zelda botw on his switch but i hesitate showing him VR.

Kids love Job Simulator..... sooo much !! My 10 year old son and his friends play occasionally and they cant get enough.

Also my son loves Tiny Town VR, sort of like an amazing lego set, hes built huge worlds.

It's a shame they aren't round here - so far I have been unable to persuade a single adult to even look at VR, let alone try it. Buncha wimps!

Was so amusing when he first put it on as he just started looking around and then kept lifting it comparing reality to what he was seeing.

The main problem with /adults is the fact they are not used to it. Even games today are already over most adults heads because they simply didn't grow up with it (well depending on age and that person), but in most cases. Give it to a young adult and most will be able to handle it no problem. At least that is what I am seeing with my own family xD It's kind of funny to hear the adults just get wow by it - but then you have all the little kids kicking around for their chance.

My 5 year old loves Henry and the dog in Valves Lab. She’s always asking to use VR. 




You're a parent ??
