The Basics

We exist to assist you in providing the VR/AR experiences to your students – something that they truly deserve. Here are some of the ways to achieve that goal.

1. Utilize the Curio XR app for tutoring, study groups, self-study, or as your virtual classroom - no training or special skills needed. 100% free.

The app currently has a lot to offer and it’s constantly getting better. Jump right in and create your own molecules, look inside the human body, watch a 360-degree video, pull up a PDF from your Google Drive, draw or manipulate existing geometric objects, and much more. Did we mention it’s free to use? No setup fees and no ongoing fees of any kind. Explore all these incredible features in one place with our App Features.

2. Have an idea but no developers? No Problem. We’ll build out your idea or connect you to others.

For a one-time fee you can hire some of our expert Unity developers and 3D graphic designers to create the object, tool, feature, simulation, or other content you need to complete your experience. The cost may be much lower than you expect because we build on top of our existing modular infrastructure – a system that was built from the ground up specifically to minimize the time and money needed to add functionality.

No budget? No problem. In many cases we can connect you to one of the outstanding educators in our network who teach Unity-based courses and have students who can build what you need as part of their coursework. Because we have already built the highly technical pieces of the VR/AR app already, these students do not need to build (and maintain) an app from scratch. Through many creative techniques and fantastic training/documentation, we have significantly lowered the bar for Unity developers interested in building VR/AR content for education. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your specific needs, don’t hesitate to Contact Us.

3. Have your own Unity developers and/or 3D graphics designers but want to save 70-80% of the time and money needed to develop (and maintain) your own VR and/or AR app?

Get right to work. You won’t need your own servers. You won’t need to pay ongoing hosting and maintenance costs. You won’t need to figure out hand tracking, multi-player, avatars, security, drawing tools and much, much more. Use our patented technology so you don’t have to invent workarounds for difficult technical issues with Unity that we have already solved. Forget the very time-consuming (and expensive) foundation-building and instead focus on the pedagogy. Note: there is no cost to use our platform, but you must agree that we can bring your innovations to the world (at no cost). You will receive full credit, acknowledged both in-app and on our website through text or video. Ready to get started? Visit our Build With Us page to learn more about how you can bring your educational innovations to life. Of course you can always Contact Us if you have any questions.

4. Built something special and it just needs a good (virtual) home?

Submit your completed educational game, application, or simulation to us, and we’ll get it out into the world for you. Of course, you will receive full credit, acknowledged both in-app and on our website through text or video. Whether it’s a Unity class project with the potential to benefit students worldwide, a cultural artifact waiting to be designed or digitized, or the outcome of a concluded grant, we’re here to collaborate with you. Let’s transform your hard work into a lasting contribution. Whatever your motivation, we’re excited to partner with you to amplify the global impact of your creation. Ready to make a difference? Build With Us and showcase your educational innovations to the world.

Curio XR is…

Frame 1 Intuitive

The Curio XR application interface is designed to be completely intuitive. No training is required, even for learners new to the VR/AR experience. Students just put on the Quest headset and begin their virtual journey. Curio XR is the only VR/AR education app built purely around hand tracking technology for controller-free use.

Frame 3 Immersive

Students can enter countless virtual worlds and simulations and are instantly, totally immersed in a 360° experience. The Meta Quest headsets block out distractions and interruptions, so students focus only on the lesson before them.

Frame 5 Engaging

Learners stay highly engaged because they are in control of the experience, seeing what they want to see, touching what they want to touch through Curio XR’s innovative hand tracking technology. High resolution graphics bring details to life right before student’s eyes to put them in the middle of the action.

Frame 2 (1) Personalized

Curio XR brings an unprecedented, personalized touch to educational technology. Teachers and students can interact as three-dimensional avatars to manipulate 2D and 3D content within the platform. These avatars can work in custom-designed classrooms or in various settings such as virtual field trips and remote locations. Users can also choose to learn through the app’s many innovative resources or work with us to design and build their own custom resources. Additionally, VR/AR lessons can be recorded to use as a reference or study tool for future use.

Frame 4 Constantly Evolving

A critical facet of the Curio XR app is for institutions to share their feedback and experiences. Curio XR is on a mission to improve the quality of education, which is why user input is so valuable. We are constantly improving the application to be the best it can be to ensure the evolving needs of both educators and students are always met.

Frame 6 More Than Just an App

Curio XR’s services extend beyond virtual reality/augmented realty technology. When you use the Curio XR app, you become our partner in education, helping develop education tools that benefit students the world over. We offer top-tier customer support and assistance, aiding in things like grant writing, content creation, planning and implementation strategies, usage reports for administrators, and technical support. We also provide users with opportunities to conduct research studies that can shape the future of education.

Curio XR and You. Let’s build something great together!
