Hello, SmartyPants, and welcome to Trusty Trivia Thursday.
Today, we're plugging into the digital world of virtual reality.
Before we begin, I want to give a shout out to some of my Spotify friends listening in the continent of Oceania.
There's Lilia in Australia, Nate in Canberra, Australia, Payton in Marillimba, Australia, and Mila in New Zealand.
Thanks for smarting with us and for all your fun comments on Spotify.
And now let's render some questions about virtual reality.
What do you wear to experience VR?
Is it A, 3D glasses, B, a VR headset, or C, a magic hat?
Did you go with B, a VR headset?
That's absolutely correct.
A VR headset immerses you in the virtual world.
Next question. When was the term virtual reality first used?
Was it A, 1938, B, 1987, or C, 2010?
Did you choose B, 1987?
Spot on. The term virtual reality was coined in 1987 by Jaron Lanier.
Last question. What sense does current VR technology not simulate?
Is it A, sight, B, sound, or C, taste?
Selecting C, exactly right.
Current VR can't simulate taste, yet.
Digital success, smarty pants.
Your virtual reality knowledge is rendering beautifully.
Be sure to join us next Thursday for more immersive facts and fun on trusty trivia.

Hey, smarty parents, I know the struggle of wanting to create the best future for the children in your life.
That's why I'm thrilled to share my experience with IXL Learning.
Recently, the eight -year -old child of one of our main Who Smarted writers started struggling with math.
They tried everything and felt helpless.
Then I told them about our partner, IXL, and it changed everything.
IXL is an online learning program that covers math, language arts, science, and social studies from pre -K to 12th grade.
What sets it apart is how it adapts to each child's needs.
His daughter loves the positive feedback and fun challenges.
And the best part? IXL's research -backed approach has made a world of difference in her confidence and her grades.
It's like having a personal tutor but at a fraction of the cost.
A month of IXL costs less than one hour with a tutor even before our smarty family 20 % discount.
