Students at Mackay District Special School are benefiting from virtual reality learning, courtesy of Endeavour Foundation.
The disability service provider has worked with Queensland University of Technology and other developers to create unique VR learning tools to teach people a range of life and work-related skills including how to use an ATM, catch public transport, and drive a car or forklift truck.
Mackay District Special School’s deputy principal Sereta Uitenweerde said students were already using the technology to improve skills and build confidence.
