Dept. of Education | VR Language Training Game (ODYSSea)
APV developed ODYSSea, a virtual reality (VR) escape room puzzle designed to test and enhance students' proficiency in the Russian language. The game, built for the Oculus Go VR headset, offers a fully immersive and realistic environment, allowing students to engage in Russian language role-play without leaving the classroom.
Using a VR headset and controller, students can explore the virtual world of ODYSSea from their desks, solving language-based challenges embedded within the game. APV designed, developed, and tested the learning experience with an array of interactive content, including 3D models, videos, animations, and graphics, ensuring a highly engaging experience.
Benefits/Outcomes
- ODYSSEA incorporated audio and computer animations to assist with the acquisition and repetition
of Russian language clues and vocabulary.
Instructor Feedback: “From a learning standpoint [the challenge of] reorganizing fallen books was a great way for students to familiarize students with the Cyrillic alphabet.
”Student Feedback: “It’s different from what we usually do … a lot of worksheets and just talking with partners. This is hands-on and requires all your senses.”
