Think of the first step in any great journey—exploration.
Most VR career tools are built for training, teaching employees how to perform tasks. While that’s useful for someone already in a role, it misses the mark for students just starting to explore.
At iXplore, our VR experiences focus on discovery. Students are guided through realistic scenarios that highlight the purpose, challenges, and rewards of different careers—not just the tasks involved. They explore questions like:
This focus on the “why” behind a career helps students connect with opportunities in a deeper, more meaningful way.
Virtual reality is revolutionizing education by providing immersive, engaging environments where students can explore and learn in ways traditional methods can’t match. Discover how VR is transforming learning.
A great quest needs a captivating story.
We use applied theatre to craft engaging scenarios that immerse students in real-world situations. Think of it as storytelling with a purpose—designed to teach, inspire, and excite. Unlike training, which focuses on teaching specific skills, these scenarios focus on discovery, helping students understand what makes a career rewarding and how it aligns with their interests.
Instead of just showing students what a career looks like, we let them step into it.
These interactive stories grab attention and keep students engaged—because learning is better when it feels like an adventure, not a checklist.
Every great adventure needs an immersive world.
Our VR environments don’t just look realistic—they feel alive, thanks to our detailed facial capture process using advanced LIDAR technology. We work with professional applied theatre actors who perform scripted scenarios, bringing authentic emotions and nuanced expressions to life. Their facial performances are captured and mapped onto virtual characters, ensuring that every raised eyebrow, thoughtful pause, or encouraging smile adds depth and relatability to the experience.
By focusing on facial expressions and emotional realism, our applied theatre-driven approach ensures that students experience not just visually stunning environments, but also dynamic, lifelike interactions. This combination of professional acting, LIDAR facial capture, and high-quality VR makes iXplore’s career exploration experiences as impactful as they are engaging.
Research shows that applied theatre techniques can significantly enhance engagement and learning outcomes, making it a valuable tool for educational settings. Learn more about the power of applied theatre in education.
Every journey needs a map to see the broader landscape.
Traditional VR training focuses narrowly on tasks, but career exploration requires a broader perspective. Students need to see how a career fits into the bigger picture.
iXplore’s experiences highlight the purpose and impact of each role, helping students understand:
This big-picture approach helps students find careers that resonate with their interests and values, not just their skills.
The best adventures end with a reward.
At the end of an iXplore experience, students walk away with more than just knowledge—they gain confidence in their potential. They’ve explored careers, tested their interests, and discovered what excites them.
For recruiters and businesses, the benefits are just as significant. By giving students a realistic preview of the work, iXplore helps:
It’s a win-win: students are empowered to make informed choices, and recruiters connect with motivated, prepared talent.
At iXplore, we’ve reimagined career exploration as a journey of discovery. By combining applied theatre with high-quality VR, we create experiences that are immersive, engaging, and meaningful.
Whether it’s exploring a MedTech lab or stepping into the shoes of an elevator mechanic, our approach helps students see the possibilities and build confidence in their future. Because when students can truly see what’s possible, they can take the first step toward achieving it.
