June 28, 2022

ViewSonic Corp., a provider of visual solutions, has produced a beta version of Universe by ViewSonic, which features a virtual 3D environment and will facilitate interactive experiences to drive engagement and enhance collaboration, according to a company press release.

Universe by ViewSonic is a 3D platform designed with virtual spaces like classrooms, lecture halls and collaborative spaces. Students can create avatars, which can be personalized. Intuitive controls allow them to navigate around the "campus" and communicate with fellow students in the same class or in other parts of the world.

"The pandemic has changed the education landscape and we've seen how digital innovation and technology has helped support teachers and students during this time," Kevin Chu, director of the Universe Business Unit at ViewSonic, said in the release. "We created this immersive learning platform so that the education community can teach and learn creatively and without limitations. We're showing the beta version of Universe by ViewSonic to highlight what educators can do outside of traditional structures."
