Case Study: Loughborough University achieves immersive design teaching success with ShapesXR

Loughborough University boosts VR confidence to 95% with ShapesXR

Loughborough University’s School of Design and Creative Arts sought to equip its User Experience Design Master's students with hands-on skills for creating immersive experiences, a vital competency for their future careers. The challenge was to find an accessible and intuitive platform that could effectively teach prototyping and collaboration in VR. They implemented ShapesXR to address this need.

Using ShapesXR, students were able to rapidly prototype in VR and collaborate in real time with avatars, mirroring professional design workflows. The solution had a transformative impact, with 95% of students feeling capable using VR by the end of the course. The success has led the university to continue using ShapesXR as a core teaching tool and to plan for its expanded use across the school.
