8-year-old boy fell from the window while playing a VR video game (world-today-news.com) 8 points by dexteve 6y ago ↗ HN
[–] remmargorp64 6y ago ↗ This is a very tragic story, but I just want to point out that the child was not playing a VR game as the article claims.He was on an iPad. The iPad is not a VR platform. You can't wear it on your face like a headset because it's too big.The article should be titled, "Child falls from third story window while playing a game on his iPad". VR has nothing to do with it. [–] LyndsySimon 6y ago ↗ It could well have been an AR game, though, which is probably too much of a distinction to expect from the media.
