    Episode 129-Exploring the Future of AI Avatars in Education

    Welcome to another exciting episode of VR in Education! In today's solo episode, we delve into the innovative world of AI avatars and their potential in the educational landscape. Our host shares his firsthand experience beta testing Victory XR's new AI avatar platform and compares it to other non-avatar AI tools. First, we explore the capabilities of non-avatar AI platforms like School AI and AI Tutor Pro, highlighting their strengths and limitations. These platforms offer various options for creating engaging learning experiences and supporting students, but they lack the immersive quality of AI avatars. Next, we dive deep into the Victory XR platform, which allows educators to create 3D human representations within a virtual world. The discussion covers the setup process, the current limitations, and the exciting future possibilities of contextually relevant 3D environments. The episode also examines another platform, EngageVR, which offers famous historical figures as AI avatars in contextually relevant VR spaces. The benefits and drawbacks of AI avatars are discussed, emphasizing the importance of human teachers in the learning process. Finally, we reflect on the potential of AI avatars to personalize learning and provide varied practice opportunities. The episode concludes with recommendations for further exploration of AI avatars in education through insightful podcasts and resources. Don't miss this deep dive into the future of AI in teaching and learning!
