Immersive VR Labs for Para-Clinical Medical Education

“I have seen a number of VR experiences. I feel that iXR’s is the most realistic compared to the others ….and has a lot more detail.”

“This is probably a 15-year dream of mine for us to be able to move into VR and AI and all that stuff and I'm so happy. There's finally a company that understands the importance of actually adding engineering and science in that frame.”

“The fact that you are integrating generative AI in that respect, this is quite visionary and quite progressive in a way.”

“I think this is the future of teaching. For me, it's getting more and more clear....because it gives you real access to everything in detail. What I saw from your demo, I think that kind of plugs the gap in learning that can happen very easily if you don't use such a tool, right?”

“It looks interesting.. I did like the jet engine I thought that was the x-ray vision I thought was a really good idea because you've got to be able to see things and get that holistic perspective and think...From what I've seen so far, it looks very interesting very realistic and I can see how it could be used in a broader educational environment like the University.”

“I thought VR was going towards gaming and it kind of is, but really… VR is way better for training. VR is so good for training and simulation and there's not a field that can't benefit from it.”

“Especially for the Engineering students, it is a really good opportunity to see the real product in the industry. Usually when you go for the site visit, you will only be able to see the parts outside. You won't be able to go near to the equipment, to have a look at the equipment. Plus, the equipment is always all covered. These modules are very interesting! Especially, for example, the Jet Engine demo you showed me, where you have the X - ray view so that students can see how it is assembled.”

“I think this is where education is going to go. It's just a question of whether it's in the next 3-5 years or 10-15 years.”

“I think there's enormous value in your product. The connection between book learning and the actual industry products is a critical step and I believe your approach to that is really strong. I think it can play a very positive role. For example, when you mentioned the Brayton cycle in the jet engine, it’s not always the students' favorite part to go through, but being able to actually see it in action and understand the machinery involved can make a huge difference. This approach can be incredibly helpful and useful. I really like all of these aspects.”

“I think what you have is incredible, especially as we move further into the technological phase. This is going to be super useful in education. The way you’ve developed it is already great and the ability to customize it makes it even better.”

“It was great! In fact, it met my expectations perfectly. I often find that many AI tools and technologies entering academics don’t fully understand the problem statement. But when I saw your demo, I was impressed that you’ve really understood the finer details of what’s needed. The key requirement is that these modules should cover what we can’t fully teach in the classroom and you’ve addressed that. For example, we can allocate an hour or so for students to visit the VR lab and learn concepts that aren't easily covered in traditional settings.”

“In Mechanical engineering hands-on experiences are really important. We try our best to provide these experiences for our students, but it’s quite limited. We don’t always have the physical demonstrations, though we do have fluid transfer systems, machine design components and materials. But, you know, it’s still limited. So, this VR technology can really help by allowing students to look at actual systems and perform demonstrations.”

“I think it can be very useful. As I mentioned, I didn’t see the 3D image during the demo, but I can imagine how incredible it would be to view the equipment in 3D. That would be a great learning experience for students. It’s much quicker to show them this in a virtual setting than taking them on a bus to a construction site. It would certainly save time and provide a far better experience.
I definitely see the benefits. If it can be tailored to the specific environment we work in, which you mentioned is possible...I believe it could be really beneficial. Well done!”

“I really enjoyed it because I’ve had experience with VR glasses, but only in gaming. You see, it's mostly being sold for gaming, but I’ve been a big proponent of promoting VR in education because I see it as one of the best ways for students to learn. The way you’ve done the substation and transformer simulations is quite impressive.
A lot of students understand the formulas and operations, but they struggle to visualize how the magnetic fields work and what’s happening for the transformer to operate. This is going to help them a lot. I’m sure that after going through this training, they’ll never forget how a transformer works and operates.”

“Students LOVED the simulations and we are very grateful for the opportunity to have these physiology simulations available to us for our ongoing research projects on physiology education!”

“Whoever has done this, has done a really excellent job.”

“What came to mind while I was looking at the content, was that it wasn’t flashy, but it was realistic and lifelike, which is key. The demonstrations that I saw, like the electrical one—looked good. I know very little about electrical engineering, so it was impressive and for someone who knows more about that content, they would be even more impressed. My point is that, just from the layout, it’s clear that the ability to manipulate different components within the electrical system is very helpful to students. Seeing the consequences of different changes and what happens as a result is very valuable. I think that was very exciting.”

“Actually, since I come from an electrical background, I could understand the substation aspect. That’s really valuable because, as you mentioned, not everyone has access to the interior of a substation. That’s a very valid point. You can give students a better understanding of it through this.”

“I'm so frustrated that we limit our vision to two dimensions. It's really good to find a way to break out of this reduced vision of reality, you know.”

“This is literally a boon for the people who want to visualise. I used to record the videos when I am performing or using the Total Station and all those and I record them and show them as a demo to my students. You are doing a marvelous job. I appreciate you and I want to thank you for helping the core branch societies.”
