LAS VEGAS, NV --Merge wants to introduce

your kids to VR. The company announced the Merge Mini, a smaller version of its lightweight smartphone-based VR headset designed to fit the heads of kids better than previous models.
Virtual reality is exciting technology and every day, more and more people are experiencing its magic for the first time. When people have a great experience in a headset, it's only natural for their kids to want to experience the fun, too. However, today's VR devices aren't well suited for children because the lenses are spaced too far apart. Most headset makers warn that kids younger than 13 shouldn't use the devices because the headsets can't accommodate their narrow interpupillary distance (IPD).
Merge isn't trying to expose young children to VR prematurely, but it also doesn't think you have to wait until you're 13, either. The company created the Merge Mini to give kids age 10 and older a chance to try VR (and AR—the device has a camera passthrough). The Merge Mini shares the same features as the Merge Goggles, but in a scaled down package that's better suited for small hands and small heads.
