The EON Learn for Life Program and its partners will establish a self-sustainable African based Interactive Digital Center (IDC) to develop the Virtual Reality ecosystem in Africa. To compliment this center, EON Reality will also found satellite centers to propagate Virtual Reality technologies in their respective region. Creating an African based network of IDCs will allow the EON Learn for Life Program and partners to quickly respond to the needs of the African community and marketplace.

“The educational potential of interactive Virtual Reality technology is limitless. By using visual metaphors independent of literacy levels or a specific spoken language, lifesaving knowledge to those that need it the most can be distributed much more efficiently,” said Anna Razumejeva, Director of EON Learn for Life Program. “We are eager to establish an African IDC and work together with UNIDO, SIDA and other philanthropic organizations that have a huge experience of the region.”
