Avantis Education has unveiled *ClassVR Xcelerate*, its most advanced virtual reality (VR) headset, designed specifically for high school and post-secondary learners. With intuitive hand controllers and a convenient flip-up design, the device allows for complete spatial movement, creating an immersive, hands-on educational experience.
The headset comes equipped with a dedicated Career & Technical Education (CTE) content pack, featuring 135 VR video experiences across diverse industries and nine interactive simulation apps. This combination gives students an unprecedented opportunity to explore real-world career pathways while developing essential technical and interpersonal skills.
Benefits for Educators and Learners
For teachers, ClassVR Xcelerate offers centralised management of devices and content. This functionality allows educators to track engagement, guide lessons seamlessly, and control learning experiences in real time—enhancing the delivery of lessons while maintaining student focus.
Students, on the other hand, benefit from AI-driven simulations that provide practical training in areas such as interviewing, presenting, negotiating, and role-playing. Real-time feedback on communication, eye contact, and soft skills ensures learners are well-prepared for the demands of modern workplaces.
Bridging Education and Industry
ClassVR Xcelerate is also tailored to vocational training needs. Immersive practice in construction, healthcare, skilled trades, applied mathematics, maintenance, and catering enables students to bridge the gap between classroom learning and workforce readiness. Additionally, virtual job shadowing exposes learners to diverse fields including hospitality, forensics, culinary arts, and sales—helping them make informed career choices.
By blending immersive technology with vocational and academic instruction, ClassVR Xcelerate is set to transform how students prepare for the future, ensuring education remains aligned with evolving industry demands.
