SynthesisVR is Bringing Immersive Education To LBEVRs Worldwide With VictoryXR

SynthesisVR is Bringing Immersive Education To LBEVRs Worldwide With VictoryXR Virtual reality is the most engaging medium that’s ever existed. Completely removed from any distractions, the person inside the headset is focused on only one thing. In an era where distractions have never been so abundant with smartphones, and endless news feeds, being able to completely block out the outside world is a powerful tool. Victory XR understands the power of learning in VR and have created the most extensive library of VR educational content available. Like VR itself, virtual reality venues are experiencing a high level of engagement within the communities they occupy. With frequent local new stories and rapid word to mouth endorsements, people are intrigued by the location-based VR experience.   Victory XR makes learning fun with virtual comic books, games, movies, and field trips. The courses are led by award-winning science teacher, Wendy Martin, and are aligned with NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards). The total suite consists of dozens of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) apps, and available immediately for one monthly subscription, both to Synthesis subscribers, and non-subscribers through synthesis VR’s free content delivery platform.          Victory XR has done their homework, leveraging their own expertise, university research, and publications, including the Research in the Learning Technology Journal, to design its new aged curriculum. One such study was done at the University of Warwick.  Three groups of students were assigned to three different types of learning: fully immersive VR environment, traditional textbook-style materials, or 2-D video of the VR environment. They all learnt about the same subject (biology), and had their learning, emotional response, and learning experience measured. Researchers found that positive emotions were rated higher for the group who experienced the VR learning method, followed by textbook, then video learning. VR students also performed better than students learning with video, showing that the active interaction with the VR environment helped improve learning. Many students reported video learning as ‘basic’ and ‘boring’ where as VR was described as ‘engaging’ and ‘made learning more exciting.”   With this partnership between Victory XR and Synthesis, VR arcades and venues will now be able to expand their role in providing the community access to this engaging new way of learning.

Swords Of Gargantua 4 Player Action Hits Synthesis VR

Swords Of Gargantua 4 Player Action Hits Synthesis VR Los Angeles, California – October  28, 2019   Today Synthesis VR and Yomuneco a subsidiary of gumi Inc., announced a partnership to distribute SWORDS OF GARGANTUA to virtual reality arcades worldwide. The title is available immediately on Synthesis VR’s commercial content platform.  SWORDS of GARGANTUA is the most realistic vr sword combat game in the world.  Featuring realistic physics, over 100 quests, and dozens of melee weapons, players will be fully immersed as they embark on the fast-paced arena-style action.   Friends and family up to 4 players will be able to join forces and face the powerful gargantua‘s. In a world stricken by the alphas, the godlings are the only hope to restore harmony. Equipped with multiple weapons including a variety of swords, nunchucks, ax, throwing blades, morning starts, and a shield, the battles are fierce and realistic. The realistic physics are a result of Yomunecos advanced collision system and knowledge of melee combat. Each weapon and shield has a specific strength and weakness offering a unique gameplay strategy. A short sword has more defensive qualities, but less powerful, ideal for facing large groups of weak enemies. A longer, more powerful sword is best wielded when facing a single strong enemy but may be slower to attack with and quickly reduce your stamina.   Beyond the combat, arcade players will enjoy hanging out in the multiplayer lobby together. The lobby allows players to practice with different weapons. With full-body avatars, players will surely enjoy seeing each other as samurai-like warriors. Playing with the ball and cup weapon, and miniaturized figurines of the godlings will also provide fun follies for families before the fight even begins. Synthesis VR is excited to offer Swords of Gargantua to its partner arcades. Parents, grandparents, kids, couples, and friends will now be able to cast themselves as the hero in this epic journey. Shabeer Sinnalebbe, CEO of Synthesis VR on the partnership,”Swords of Gargantua is a very realistic swordplay action game that is fun for the whole family. It is already a very popular game, and I believe bringing Swords of Gargantua to all the VR locations worldwide is going to benefit the arcades in a big way, attracting new customers and retaining customers which is a big issue when it comes to arcades. Games like Swords of Gargantua make this happen and we are pleased to announce the availability globally through SynthesisVR.” Check out Sword Of Gargantua here!   For additional information please contact info@synthesisvr.com   Synthesis VR: Founded in 2016, Synthesis VR was designed by pioneering LBVR operators to provide the critical software needed to operate a location-based virtual reality center.
