Umety

Technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are redefining education and making learning more engaging. By harnessing the power of VR, educators can go beyond textbooks and traditional digital content, creating immersive educational experiences. Umety, an immersive technology platform provider, is at the forefront of driving this shift.

The company focuses on building quality engaging content for the classroom rather than relying on the novelty of VR technology. It has been observed that most existing headsets are more consumer-focused and not specifically designed for educational purposes. To address this gap, Umety developed a headset with significant storage capacity, making it usable even in regions with poor internet connectivity.

On a mission to create immersive educational content for effective learning, Umety has successfully established a platform that facilitates interactive experiences.

Glenn Collins, Chief Revenue Officer at Umety, highlighted the company’s commitment to producing high-quality educational content that is both engaging and globally accessible. "Leveraging cutting-edge technology, we strive to make top-tier educational resources available to students around the world," Collins remarked. He emphasized that the company’s seasoned management and development teams, with years of experience in immersive learning environments, have been instrumental in creating what he described as "the world’s most comprehensive platform of standards-aligned immersive lessons and content."

Tailoring Learning Experiences for All

Umety’s headset immerses students in a distraction-free environment where they actively participate in their educational journey and progress at their own pace without the fear of judgment. The VR headsets bring lessons to life, making abstract concepts tangible and reinforcing real-world applications of academic content. Equipped with voice recognition, the headset offers distinctive learning experiences, including language learning and career exploration. Whether students want to enhance language proficiency or make informed decisions about their future careers, they can practice real-world conversations or explore various careers through interactive 360 career videos.

These VR headsets can be particularly beneficial for students with special needs, allowing educators to tailor learning to individual requirements. Students with autism or ADHD can learn at their own level without stigma, benefiting from the focused environment provided by these VR headsets, which help them thrive and foster positive behavioral changes.

Affordable and Easy-to-Use Solution

Today, Umety leads the way in immersive learning, offering a comprehensive solution and pedagogically sound learning experiences. Purpose-built for education, its headset provides a safe learning experience with attributes ideal for educational settings, such as efficient offline usage and substantial internal storage.

The headset comes preloaded with Umety's extensive VR content library, ensuring a wide range of modules is readily available without the need for streaming or loading.

The library includes over 1,000 lessons, with 550 focused on STEM subjects for students aged 13 and older. The content library also includes more than 300,000 places, a collection of 360-degree images and videos that teachers can easily incorporate into their lessons. Umety’s STEM lessons are available in nine languages, aligned with global curriculums and designed to help students grasp the curriculum's most complex concepts through active learning.

All the STEM content has been developed by subject matter experts and instructional design specialists in accordance with educational standards, incorporating interactive simulations and formative assessments. These assessments provide students with immediate feedback and give teachers valuable insights, enabling more personalized and effective learning. All of this content is accessible through Umety’s VR headsets as well as on most flat panels, interactive projectors, Chromebooks, laptops, tablets and mobile phones. This has been made possible due to Umety’s strategic transition from a VR-centric company to a broader immersive learning platform. Recognizing that not every school can afford VR headsets, Umety made its solution compatible with various devices already present in classrooms. This move ensures its immersive learning experiences are available to a wider audience, even in schools with financial constraints, making high-quality education more accessible. Students in all regions can benefit from immersive learning without the need for costly hardware investments.

Known for its ease of use and affordability, Umety’s immersive learning platform is designed with simplicity in mind, ensuring that both teachers and students can easily interact with the content. This minimizes the time spent troubleshooting technology and maximizes learning outcomes.
