As technology continues to advance, virtual reality (VR) is making a significant impact on education, offering immersive experiences that enhance learning across various subjects. Schools worldwide are embracing VR education to create dynamic, interactive lessons that engage students like never before. From exploring the depths of the ocean in a science class to stepping inside a historical event in social studies, virtual reality in education is reshaping the way students interact with the curriculum.
The integration of VR in the classroom brings abstract concepts to life, particularly in STEM fields where complex theories can be difficult to grasp through traditional teaching methods. By providing a virtual reality classroom, educators can offer hands-on experiences without the limitations of physical resources or safety concerns. This technology not only increases student engagement but also deepens understanding by allowing learners to explore and interact with content in a three-dimensional space.
Several companies are at the forefront of integrating VR into education, each offering unique approaches to enhance the learning experience. Let’s explore some of these leading platforms and how they are transforming classrooms.
ClassVR is known for its comprehensive VR education platform, offering an extensive library of immersive content that spans various subjects. Their solution is designed to be easily integrated into the classroom, providing teachers with a user-friendly interface and a wealth of resources.

We start with consultation: our team helps plan the VR classroom for your school. You need internet access and a suitable room — allocate about 5 x 5 feet (1.5 x 1.5 m) per student. One headset per two students works well.
Devices and licenses: schools can use existing Meta Quest or Pico devices and purchase licenses, or we can offer discounted devices or a turnkey solution with pre-installed content.
After purchase, we guide device setup and content installation and provide teacher training.
Teachers learn how to run VR lessons using Lesson Plans and Engagement Playbooks, manage screen casting and paired learning, and keep students engaged.
Ongoing support is always available.
VR lessons typically last 5–15 minutes, depending on the simulation, with a recommended class size of up to 20 students. Screen casting is supported and compatible with selected teacher management systems, allowing teachers to launch simulations remotely, monitor progress, and view all devices during lessons.
Teachers are supported with Lesson Plans and Engagement Playbooks that include learning objectives, step-by-step lesson flow, classroom scenarios, reflection questions, practical assignments, and assessment guidance.
XReady Lab is available worldwide and supports 75+ languages. Today, it is used by 800+ schools and 150,000+ students across the globe.
XReady Lab simulations are offered through flexible licensing packages, depending on the format and subjects you need:
If you already have VR headsets, you only purchase licenses. If not, we can also help you choose the most cost-effective setup and licensing model for your school or family.
XReady Lab works with the most widely used standalone VR headsets in schools:
All supported devices are standalone (no PC required), making them easy to deploy and manage in a school environment.
Yes. XReady Lab supports open ecosystems, not closed platforms. Schools can freely use third-party VR content alongside XReady Lab on Meta Quest and PICO headsets.
We encourage schools to diversify their VR classrooms with high-quality educational apps and can recommend tested solutions, helping expand learning beyond STEM into subjects like design, history, environmental studies, and soft skills.
