As VR/AR and other XR media grows with increasing pace, we had the chance to talk to Neilda Pacquing, who is a VR/AR developer and an expert on user experience. Neilda sees many opportunities for VR in training and education, and has drawn our attention to the lack of non-sexualized female characters on the market. If you want to contribute to helping developers around the world, participate in our Challenge: Female Characters and promote your favorite female-friendly characters.
