What we do
XR Platform
We build web-first XR software that lowers friction for non-technical creators—so lessons and trainings can launch across headsets, browsers, tablets, and laptops.
Research collaborations
We co-design XR interventions and study workflows with faculty investigators—supporting protocol-ready designs, iterative user testing, and grant-aligned development.
Training & deployment
We run real-world pilots with schools, labs, and community programs—providing onboarding, facilitation tools, and implementation support.
Flagship platform
OXR — Web-first mixed reality authoring & orchestration
OXR empowers instructors and facilitators to create, manage, and sustain XR lessons as easily as slide decks—using spatial scenes, reusable templates, and multi-device delivery.
Classroom and workshop instruction (teacher-led, guided experiences)
Demonstrations where one headset can be shared with many observers
Rapid prototyping of spatial learning and training workflows
OXR for Education
OXR for Prodcut Demo
Evidence & traction
University pilot
Marsal Family School of Education pilot (EDUC 601): 100% of students successfully designed and delivered XR lessons with minimal training.
K–12 pilot
Detroit Country Day School pilot (Upper School A&P): 80% said OXR was effective for learning; 90% satisfied with the lesson format; 90% want OXR used in future courses.
National Workshop
The Clubhouse Network Annual Summit workshop: 90% interested in follow-up sessions/pilots; 80% felt confident guiding youth to create XR projects using OXR.
