("ENGAGE XR" or the "Group")
Launch of School of AI
ENGAGE XR Holdings Plc, a leading spatial computing and metaverse technology company, is delighted to announce the launch of "School of AI". This new offering creates an immersive learning environment, in which students can speak to notable figures of history, powered by conversational and generative AI.
School of AI has been built and developed by the team at ENGAGE XR and offers a glimpse into the future of AI for educational use. School of AI is set in authentic historic locations, such as Marie Curie's lab (image below) or the Hall of Independence with Benjamin Franklin. Where original audio clips were available for a given character, those clips were used to train the AI to sound exactly like the original characters and give them similar mannerisms.
School of AI will be made available to a selection of ENGAGE XR's educational clients later this month, followed by a full rollout planned later this year, which is expected to create new revenue opportunities. ENGAGE XR's educational clients include the Kentucky Department of Education, Optima Domi, and Lobaki.
School of AI will be available on all leading VR/AR devices, PCs, Phones and Tablets, with 12 AI-powered characters, including Neil Armstrong, Rosa Parks, Benjamin Franklin, Nikola Tesla and Marie Curie, available on release, with more arriving later this year.

David Whelan CEO, ENGAGE XR, said: "There is a lot of excitement around AI and its capabilities to generate images, videos, and text. We have been actively researching and developing tools and services, which work in combination with OpenAI and MetaAI, that are more than just cool tech demos.
"School of AI is just the first in a line of services we have planned for release this year. We have developed a suite of useful tools that merge AI, Metaverse and Spatial Computing services into singular useful products that will make a meaningful impact in terms of educational and enterprise use. At School of AI, students will be able to learn history from those who lived through it, speaking directly to Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla and many others as if they were alive today.
"School of AI focuses on education however we have similar offerings for enterprise clients which are tailored to help onboarding and ongoing professional development."
