VR JAM - "VR: House of Languages" + APK/Video

Hello Guys,

Great to hear you. My name is Maxim Miheyenko, I am working on project "VR: House of Languages" for new way to learn English/Germany/Spain/French (and more) languages by VR.

House of Languages - it is new way to learn English/German/Spanish languages. App specially created to show VR opportunities of study.

Lastest video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ffbhukf ... e=youtu.be

<Introduction>

In front of you is friendly Mr. Woo and a room with a number of everyday 3D objects. Your task is to help Mr. Woo to find different objects. So while helping Mr. Woo, you will learn foreign words in interactive VR environment. The 3D items become alive and tell you the their name to help you to improve your language skills. Look around, tap to pick the item, simple to play, simple to remember.

Our main goal was to create beautiful, warm and cute VR environment for you to discover, interact, learn and enjoy.

<Interaction>

Use your perceptual system to study languages:

(Vision) see the name of object;

(Sound In) hear the name of object;

(Sound Out) say the name of object;

(Touch) touch the 3D object in VR.

<Usefulness>

House of Languages is a very effective App for learning new vocabulary using different ways of receiving information from VR environment.


<Future potential>

We are planning to create different locations with different objects (words) to study. For example: kids room, garage, hospital, airport, shop and many more. We will add more languages and levels so you can choose the best option for you.

Stay tuned. Great challenge.

I like the character concept art. Very cute!!

The idea is really interesting and novel to, because learning languages in the VR space could work really well.

Keep the updates rolling! :3

Yeah. I too love the character. I don't know how you're concept works, but maybe for the jam, concentrate on only a single language or two. Spend more time polishing the concept.

Also, I think maybe you should be mindful of the age limitations for vr. This should be aimed at teens or adults. However, for the jam, if the mechanic for learning the language is good enough, you could do well even if technically it couldn't be targeted for younger children.

Best of luck, I'm excited to see what you come up with.

The concept art is indeed very nice, I'll be interested to see how you leverage the strengths of VR to tech language. I can see the use of VR for training many thing, but learning a new language doesn't seem like a natural fit. I guess they say immersion is very useful, so perhaps transporting the player to a virtual space where people are conversing around them in that language could be helpful in the learning process.

Thank you, colleagues! Awesome feedback!

Mr.Woo made specially for this VR Jam for "House of Languages" project. It is our Hero. He is Guide for players in the virtual world! Intelligent, courteous and caring 🙂

Yeah, we are working on prototype right now in Unity3D to make really interesting (and useful) experience.

Coming soon updates!

Please some more new stuff:
