What education needs right nowVirtual reality is a new revolutionary mode of educational technology that generates innovative learning spaces and adapts to the user at the same time. Virtual reality has been found to catalyze the development of higher cognitive results, increase motivation in learners, and support self-directed learning while fostering safe and engaging learning environments (Soto et al, 2019). Currently, popular language learning apps include Duolingo and Rosetta Stone. However they are personalized learning technologies that have streamlined curricula accessed via tablets/phones, and thus are unable to create an immersive learning space. Additionally they do not support user autonomy as each question has only one right answer. Additionally, promoting use of a new language over long periods of time has been an ongoing challenge that language teachers face. Thus, with VR proving to increase motivation, engagement, and participation, there is a growing market for VR learning technologies and simulations.
CompetitionThe most similar product to ImmerseMe on market right now is Mondly, which is also a language learning VR program. The main difference between Mondy and ImmerseMe is that the Mondly "world" is fully animated, whereas ImmerseMe uses real life footage of places and people. I believe this makes a big difference because the real-life video brings in another level of human connection, curiosity, and impact- as if you were really on another part of the world speaking to real people!

VR Integrates
1. IMMERSION
The user experience involves participating in meaningful actions that take place on the screen. |
2. INTERACTION
As the virtual world responds to the user's actions in real time, it can identify, recognize , and adapt to the user's data, modifying the virtual world further for a richer experience. |
3. IMAGINATION
The system provides a user-oriented interface where it gives the user autonomy to explore and try different things while learning. |
Post COVID-19, virtual training and simulation software is expected to attain significant growth, owing to growing demand for online content, certification courses, corporate learning, learning management systems (LMS), and other e-learning tools
