Description: Brush Up VR is a simple Toothbrushing challenge game. It is derived from the Brush Up mixed reality mobile game. Developed with NIH support, Brush Up wins health gaming awards (like the 2015 Innovation in Games and Simulation award from America’s prestigious Institute of Medicine) for teaching young children toothbrush mastery. While the mixed reality game is a bathroom companion, the VR game is a fun exploration of dentition. Kids learn that brushing means a lot more than cleaning the front teeth plus a quick scrub down one side. Designed for young people of any age — the brushing challenge is lively fun for anyone.
Review: While Brush Up VR is as basic as games get I still feel this is worthy of some attention. It is essentially a monster tooth brushing game in which you need to clean all the monsters teeth. It looks like he enjoyed munching on a lot of spinach. Get every last tooth clean and you win! Well…you don’t win anything so to speak, but it is fun. While I wish there was an educational factor to it rather than just some silliness I still think it is worth the £0.79 and I also have to give credit to it for such a great use of VR technology as a whole. It’s not going to make us adults smile, but the little ones will love it.
