SMART-EAT

A healthy and sustainable diet is not that easy for children and young people - supermarkets, fast food chains and canteens often make it difficult for them to choose.

SMART-EAT simulates classic situations, such as shopping in a supermarket, in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) and supports pupils in their food choices in a playful way. This innovative form of teaching skills is also to be anchored in teacher training.
