Research shows that our natural born tendencies are to distance ourselves and reject that and who which is different from us - and that only education, communication and deep familiarity could change that.
We believe that the classroom is the best place to foster the vital empathy skills that children need
to become healthy, successful adults in the global world of today.
I Get the Other is a library of immersive virtual reality experiences developed at MindCET,
the EdTech innovation center at the Center of Educational Technology in Israel.
The library leverages VR technology's unique qualities to provide educators, guides and school staff with
a simple, quick and direct way to make students identify with the other and see from their perspective.
