In an unprecedented move that’s set to transform education, XReady Lab is proud to announce its participation in the world’s largest XR (Extended Reality) education project to date. This initiative, launched by the Flemish government in 2022, is revolutionizing how VR is used in education on a massive scale.
Before we delve into the details, let’s clarify what XR means. Extended Reality encompasses Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). In this groundbreaking project, XReady Lab’s VR education software plays a big role in bringing immersive learning experiences to students across Belgium.
The scale of this initiative is truly impressive:
XReady Lab’s selection as a content provider in mid-2024 for this massive project is a testament to the quality and effectiveness of our VR education services. Students will start using our simulations in the upcoming school year, marking a new era in science lesson plans and practical lessons.
Our role in this groundbreaking project focuses on providing immersive VR education games and simulations for biology and physics. These applications offer students unique opportunities to engage with complex scientific concepts in ways never before possible. Here are some examples of what students will experience:
Gas Exchange (Biology):
Students can explore the human respiratory system, witnessing the process of gas exchange in real-time. This simulation allows learners to:
Gamified elements make learning biology engaging and memorable, stimulating active student participation. Learning objectives:
Solar System (Physics):
Learners can travel through space, exploring planets and understanding interactively. This VR experience allows students to:
Students can step into an astronaut’s shoes, explore the cosmos, and uncover new corners of space.

XReady Lab Superhuman AI Tutor works like a real tutor, guiding students step by step instead of giving ready-made answers. It focuses on reasoning, problem-solving, and explaining mistakes to build real understanding.
Created by international STEM Olympiad winners and coaches, it helps prepare for exams, increases memory retention by 40%, and works in real time in both VR and desktop formats with an internet connection.
XReady Lab packages include complimentary teacher training and ready-to-use Lesson Plans and Engagement Playbooks to support engaging lessons.
They guide teachers in integrating VR/web/PC simulations with clear objectives, step-by-step instructions, classroom management strategies, reflection activities, assessments, and technical checklists — helping teachers run effective lessons beyond the simulations themselves.
Simply fill out the free demo form here to get access to demo XReady Lab simulations.
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.
XReady Lab follows school VR safety best practices. VR is recommended for students 10–12+, with short 5–15 minute sessions and seated or safe-zone use under teacher supervision, supported by screen casting.
First-time users adapt gradually. Students with medical conditions require parental and school approval, and hygiene is ensured through regular headset cleaning and replaceable face covers.
Families can access XReady Lab simulations at home in two ways:
