CREATING AN IMMERSIVE WORLD IN VIRTUAL REALITY FOR AN ACADEMIC PURPOSE

The Immersive Learning Platform with Digital Characters and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create digital characters and virtual reality (VR) to immerse students in simulated experiences.

1. Custom Digital Characters: AI is used to create realistic and compelling digital characters based on text data, allowing different parties involved in simulated cases or educational scenarios to be represented.
2. Virtual Reality Experiences: Students use VR headsets to immerse themselves in educational scenarios, allowing them to interact with digital characters and experience situations in a realistic and conversational way.
3. Observation and Evaluation: Teachers can observe students' performance during the simulations, grading them based on their participation, attention, reasoning, and decision making.
4. Interdisciplinary Learning: The platform can be adapted to different disciplines, making it a versatile tool for learning in a variety of academic fields.
5. Improved Understanding and Soft Skills: Students can better understand concepts and complexities related to their area of study, while developing critical reasoning, decision-making and social competencies skills.
