The technological basis of our solution: How does it work?

October 2, 2023

Technology has the power to shape the future of education, and this is particularly true in the field of language learning. With virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) combined, we've ushered in a new era of learning. But how exactly does it work? Let's delve into the technological underpinnings of our solution.

The magic of Virtual Reality

At the heart of VR is simulation. Thanks to specific devices, such as VR headsets, learners are immersed in three-dimensional environments. These environments can reproduce real-life situations, such as a conversation in a Parisian café or a guided tour of Rome.

  1. Tracking systems: These devices follow the user's head and sometimes hand movements to adjust the display and provide an immersive experience. So if you turn your head to the left, you'll see what's to your left in the virtual environment.
  2. Spatial audio: Sound plays a crucial role. VR headsets use three-dimensional audio to reproduce sounds coming from different directions, enhancing immersion.

Artificial intelligence: personalized learning

AI goes far beyond simple software. It simulates human intelligence, learns from users and adapts to their needs.

  1. Natural Language Processing (NLP): This is AI's ability to understand and interact in human language. It analyzes your responses and pronunciation, and gives you feedback in real time.
  2. Recommendation systems: Based on your progress and areas of difficulty, the AI recommends specific exercises to strengthen your skills.
  3. Data analysis: AI collects and analyzes your learning data to understand your habits, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and tailor content accordingly.

The synergy between VR and AI

The beauty of our solution lies in the interaction between VR and AI. Imagine being immersed in a virtual environment and trying to order a coffee in Spanish. VR gives you the setting, the context. The AI evaluates your performance, the accuracy of your pronunciation, and adapts the virtual waiter's response accordingly.

Conclusion

Understanding the technological underpinnings behind our learning solution allows us to appreciate the ingenuity and effectiveness of this approach. By combining total immersion and personalized learning, VR and AI offer a method of language learning unrivalled in terms of effectiveness and engagement.
