Innovae y UEM crean XR Lab: extended reality training laboratory

XR Lab was born with the aim of creating, evaluate and investigate virtual reality teaching resources, augmented and mixed for the students of the EMU.

Innovate has participated in the creation of XR Lab (eXtended Reality Lab), the extended reality laboratory of the European University (EMU), aimed at developing teaching resources based on virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality.

These technologies revolutionize pedagogical dynamics, promoting and stimulating learning through interactive content. The immersive experience of a virtual simulation allows you to recreate real situations and accurately evaluate the abilities of the students, while he has the opportunity to put his theoretical knowledge into practice.

The benefits of the application of virtual reality in training include carrying out risk processes in complete safety, have greater autonomy, reduce learning times and save costs. In addition, allows you to optimize the understanding of knowledge thanks to the immersive and interactive aspect, learning up to four times faster than in a conventional classroom.

Student commitment is also favored, standing 3,75 times more emotionally connected to the content. It is a method that maximizes the effectiveness of education, increasing user motivation by being able to apply their theoretical knowledge in realistic environments. In fact, student confidence increases by 275% by applying what is learned when performed in virtual reality environments.

The XR Lab was born with the objective of creating, evaluate and investigate virtual reality teaching resources, increased and mixed for UEM students. Together with teachers of different grades, focuses on developing innovative learning resources that optimize student knowledge retention, increasing your motivation and satisfaction.

Thanks to the initiative, Students have the opportunity to develop transversal and specific skills in completely safe environments, immersive and simulated. The UEM is thus a pioneer in actively applying technologies in university education and in promoting digital transformation in the classroom..

VR-based training

In order to promote this change, Innovae and the UEM worked on a total of 7 training capsules based on virtual reality, que son VR Teacher, Put yourself in my shoes, Here be Dragons, Crime Scene Investigation, Patient Safety through Gamification and some more projects pending launch in the field of preoperative and dentistry.

The capsules allow you to create training experiences in virtual reality for all types of areas, in this case for university degrees in Education, Sciences, Medicine and Health, Criminology, Law and Engineering.

Innovae has acted as a partner of XR Lab for the creation of the training capsules, both as a technology provider and as providing advisory services throughout the entire process, working alongside UEM professors who run XR Lab to advise on content and more technical aspects. Their participation ranges from the initial conceptualization to the continuous improvement of the contents., and involves comprehensive support in the development of the laboratory.

The project carried out between Innovae and the UEM marks an innovative advance in education and training, taking advantage of virtual reality, augmented and blended to offer students an enhanced and more effective learning experience. The results obtained have led to silvering, in the future the creation of multi-user and immersive training capsules, adding more functionalities to projects for constant improvement. In addition to extending them to more themes or areas, so that students of all types of university degrees can boost their learning processes.
