Many language learners struggle to learn a new language through rote memorization and rigid conversational templates. Limited experience leads many to feel unprepared when they have the opportunity for a real-life conversation.

My VR Language Tutor is a virtual reality application that provides users with an immersive language-learning experience powered by artificial intelligence, bridging the gap between learning a language and putting it into practice.

Our software includes vibrant environments populated with objects, signs and characters that simulate real-life language use cases. Users explore at their leisure, conversing with the characters and interacting with the environment.

Users build vocabulary by identifying objects and receiving feedback. To improve pronunciation, users read signs aloud and receive a grade based on their performance. Speakers improve natural conversation skills by chatting with characters about topics relevant to the environment.

To cater to learners of all skill levels, multiple levels of proficiency are supported. Additionally, hints and assistance can be toggled.
