What Is Kai Frazier's Kai XR?
Kai Frazier, founder and chief executive of Kai XR, calls it kid-friendly virtual reality where children explore, dream, and create. Students can take virtual field trips and build their own virtual adventures. She says the aim is an accessible path for educators, parents, and students to try mixed reality early. Kai XR is a website, with nothing to install. It runs on a headset and also on a phone, desktop, or laptop when a school has no headset. After login, Kai XR splits into three tiers: explore, dream, and create.
