World-first digital teacher in NZ schools

Kiwi students will be the first in the world to have a digital teacher enter their classrooms.
The digital teacher is unlikely to replace flesh and blood teachers any time soon, but the Auckland software company which created the avatar sees education as a key future use of their technology.
Will, a digital human avatar will teach primary school students about renewable energy as part of a free education programme offered to Auckland schools by Vector.
