e-Safety Parents
Every year, eSafety publishes a Gift Guide to support parents and carers with insights and advice on the latest trends and technology. The guide helps you make smart, safe and secure tech gift choices for children and young people.
This year’s Gift Guide focuses on new immersive technology and the practical things we can do to minimise harm for the excited young recipients of tech gifts.
Technology can impact family dynamics, personal safety and wellbeing. So gift thoughtfully and safely these holidays and introduce any new device alongside healthy and safe online habits.
Buckle up! Immersive technology has landed
Virtual reality headsets that immerse children in 360-degree worlds where they swim with sharks, whales and mermaids. Technology that transports them to the sights, sounds and sensations of ancient Rome. Multi-player gaming where they touch and feel their opponents.
This isn’t future tech, it’s today’s tech – and it’s all waiting at a retail store near you this holiday season.
Get up to speed on immersive tech in the latest blog from the eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant.
