Campus-wide WebXR deployment at IIT Delhi.

Immersive learning at institutional scale.

iXRLabs delivered a campus-wide deployment of its WebXR modules at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), supporting engineering programs across the institute. The modules run in the browser as WebXR - removing the need for app installs - and were integrated into IIT Delhi's local learning management system (LMS), with the iXRLabs server deployed on the campus's own infrastructure. The result is immersive learning that scales across the institute, inside the tools and network students and faculty already use.

Deploying immersive learning at scale.

Rolling out immersive learning across an entire institute is as much an infrastructure problem as a content one. Native VR apps require installation and specific hardware, which doesn't scale to large cohorts across many engineering programs. Faculty want immersive content inside the systems they already teach with, not a separate platform. And institutions often need content and access to stay on their own network - for performance, reliability, and control.

• Installs don't scale: native VR apps need per-device setup and specific hardware.

• Separate platforms add friction: faculty want immersive content inside existing course tools.

• Network control matters: institutions often need content and access to stay on their own infrastructure.

WebXR, in the LMS, on campus infrastructure.

iXRLabs deployed its modules as WebXR - immersive experiences that run directly in the browser, with no app to install and access across a range of devices. The modules were integrated into IIT Delhi's local LMS, so students launch them from within their existing courses and faculty manage them alongside other coursework. Crucially, the iXRLabs server was deployed on IIT Delhi's own campus infrastructure, keeping content and access on the institute's network.

• WebXR, browser-based: no installs and device-flexible access, so modules reach the whole campus through a link.

• LMS integration: modules embedded in IIT Delhi's local LMS, inside existing courses and faculty workflows.

• On-campus server: content and access hosted on the institute's own infrastructure, not external cloud.

About IIT Delhi.

The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) is one of India's premier institutes for engineering, science, and technology, and one of the 23 Indian Institutes of Technology. Established in 1961 and located on a 320-acre campus in Hauz Khas, New Delhi, it is an Institute of National Importance and was designated an Institute of Eminence by the Government of India in 2018. Its engineering departments span disciplines from mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering to computer science and chemical engineering.

What the deployment delivered.

Immersive modules available across engineering programs institute-wide.

Browser-based WebXR removes installation and hardware barriers for students.

Modules live in the campus LMS, where students and faculty already work.

The on-campus server keeps content and access on IIT Delhi's own network.

• Campus-wide reach Immersive modules available across engineering programs institute-wide.

• Frictionless access Browser-based WebXR removes installation and hardware barriers for students.

• Inside existing workflows Modules live in the campus LMS, where students and faculty already work.

• Institutional control The on-campus server keeps content and access on IIT Delhi's own network.

Deployment, not content, is often the blocker.

For large institutions, the blocker to immersive learning is often deployment, not content - hardware, installs, and integration get in the way of scale. IIT Delhi's model shows another path: browser-based WebXR, embedded in the campus LMS, served from on-campus infrastructure. It is a template for rolling out immersive learning across an entire institute, inside the systems and network it already runs.

Why WebXR mattered for a campus of this scale

The decision to deliver through WebXR rather than native VR apps is the heart of this deployment. Native applications need per-device installation, specific hardware and ongoing update management, which is manageable for a single lab but becomes a serious operational burden at institutional scale. By delivering modules through the browser, iXRLabs removed the installation barrier entirely: a student reaches an immersive module through a link, on the hardware already available to them, with nothing to install and nothing to maintain.

That single architectural choice is what turned immersive learning from a showcase into an institution-wide capability. It is also why the deployment reached across engineering programmes rather than sitting in one department - the friction that usually confines VR to a specialist lab simply was not there.

Embedded in the LMS, not bolted on

Just as important as browser delivery was where the modules lived. Rather than asking faculty and students to adopt a separate platform, iXRLabs embedded the modules inside IIT Delhi's own learning management system, so immersive content sits inside existing courses and existing workflows. Faculty assign a VR module the way they assign any other resource, and students reach it where they already work.

The supporting server was deployed on the campus's own infrastructure, keeping content and access on IIT Delhi's network. For an institution of this standing, that institutional control over data and delivery is not a detail - it is often the precondition for adopting any new platform at all.

What this deployment demonstrates

The IIT Delhi deployment is a reference model for a specific and common problem: the blocker to immersive learning at scale is usually deployment, not content. Good VR modules have existed for years, but installation overhead, hardware dependence and separate platforms have kept them confined to pilots. This deployment shows that when immersive content is delivered through the browser, embedded in the LMS and hosted on institutional infrastructure, it can reach an entire campus.

For any large university weighing immersive learning, the lesson is that the delivery architecture deserves as much attention as the modules themselves.

About iXRLabs

iXRLabs is an AI-powered VR and XR lab platform for higher education, delivering immersive, hands-on lab modules across Engineering, Medical, Sciences and Nursing. The platform helps universities and colleges teach systems and equipment that are hard, expensive or unsafe to access in reality, with browser-based WebXR delivery, LMS integration, the 7thi AI tutor and built-in assessment - so immersive learning can reach a whole cohort, not just a single lab.
