Children find it difficult to grasp abstract concepts and learn solely through theory. As a result, you notice lopsided development in children, their energies focused solely on textbook learning. Simultaneously, critical thinking, independent thought, analysis, team play, problem-solving, and interactive physical activity recede into the background.
Korean company InsolM&T Inc is revolutionizing the VR/AR space by developing various interactive content and experiences that provide education solutions with innovative technology. A hologram-based VR and AR solutions provider, InsolM&T Inc has created an interactive virtual sports interactive platform, MODOU SPORTS. InsolM&T Inc.’s platforms include MODOU SPORTS, a 3D experience for children – aiaiPLAY, and more.
MODOU SPORTS is an interactive platform that transforms any existing space for virtual activities indoors. It is no surprise that, in recent times, STEAM-based education (science, technology, arts, engineering, and mathematics) is gaining in the ascendancy, and it is ably augmented with AR and VR technologies.
MODOU SPORTS’ research and development efforts consider children’s creative movements and behaviors, providing a seamless and natural immersion experience. As a result, children’s minds and bodies grow stronger while they play immersed in the MODOU SPORTS platform.
A couple of years ago, it would be expensive and time-consuming to use artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality. Internet speeds were limiting, but with 5G on the scene, this is no longer a constraint. Today, the situation is different. These technologies are available and are affordable. What remains to be done is developing content that uses these technologies, and, in this, InsolM&T Inc leads the way.
Learning need not be a passive experience as it usually happens in classroom-based training. Whether it is science, arts, technology, or culture or even personality development, you can turn to AR/VR to create active, experiential learning platforms on various topics. Each student is at the center of the learning process in their space and can explore various options. It is no secret that learners can be classified into different types, such as those who prefer learning by example, learning from visuals, learning by doing, learning from thought, etc.
While classroom teaching might help only one type of learner, this new way of learning powered by AR and VR put the learning in the middle and let them learn in the way that suits them best. It helps each type develop critical thinking to find solutions their way. MODOU SPORTS platform allows a child to play with its peers, interact, and enjoy the virtually entertaining platform. Without the pressure of classroom study, children learn while playing with MODOU SPORTS.
The presence of a teacher sometimes proves to be imposing and restrictive because it arouses apprehensions. Give children the freedom to learn without an adult’s overwhelming presence, and you have a brain that explores, thinks, and develops the power of critical thinking because they have options they are free to consider. Plus, AR/VR gives them a fuller, richer, and more rounded experience that aids the thought process.
Consider the case of a child reading a book or viewing an illustrated book. The information is limited, and questions arise. Now take the same topic handled with the use of AR/VR. A student gets to know multi-dimensional perspectives and the relevance of topics. The mind is exposed to audio, video, real-life situations, and simulations, drawing a complete picture that leads to better appreciation and grasp and memory retention.
When you are engaged in an immersive activity where the mind blends with physical activity, you develop the power of physical and mental memory retention and mind-body coordination. This is exemplified in VR learning games. It helps the mind to develop memory as well as gain different perspectives on one topic. This extends further when it is a collaborative and shared experience.
MODOU SPORTS does recording and analysis of exercise data while children are playing. It captures participating children’s data on seven factors: muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, quickness, etc. The captured data can be used to assess a child’s health condition.
Since the MODOU SPORTS platform is a flexible system installed in limited square footage, there is no need for institutions to change any existing interior design. By adding projectors, lighting, sound systems, and sensors, a new interactive environment can be created. MODOU SPORTS system is capable of updating automatically with up-to-date content.
The next generation is not the only beneficiary of advanced AI imbued AR/VR technologies. It can be put to good use in higher education, corporate training, and vocational training. The tech is here.
Originally, the MODOU SPORTS platform, designed for kids’ physical activities, but with the features like setup flexibility and mobility, it can be used for many events and venues. MODOU SPORTS platform can enhance company events, business meetings, team building activities, exhibitions, and much more.
So far, the emphasis of AR/VR tech is on eCommerce and gaming. Companies like InsolM&T Inc are taking it further by extending the concept to education, transforming it into a life-changing and enriching process. This is the future.
