Abstract :
Most VR practitioners probably don´t think of Africa as being at the forefront of technology innovation. Some might even regard Africa as an exotic holiday destination; to others, it´s a continent characterized by poverty and hunger, to be avoided. Within this context, what role, if any, can VR play in human development in Africa?
