Interactive, Immersive & Engaging
Through a partnership between Curio and Bellevue College, students are able to manipulate molecules in the college’s XR lab.
Our patented application lets students dive into immersive virtual environments effortlessly. Create molecules, sketch in 3D, or simulate job training—all virtually. Step inside the human body for an up-close exploration or revisit historical events with unparalleled depth and detail.
Interactive eXtended Reality (XR) sessions (which encompass Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR)) elevate tutoring, study groups, self-guided study, or full classroom lessons whether students gather in the same physical space or connect remotely. And with the Curio XR software, distractions like social media, smart watches and interruptions from passing students vanish, allowing students to truly focus (for perhaps the first time, ever).
Available for free on Meta Quest headsets, our app boasts seamless, controller-free navigation with patented hand tracking technology. Our intuitive iPad-like interface in VR ensures everyone–even young learners–can use Curio with ease; no training required.
From STEM to history, Career and Technical Education (CTE) to language arts, the Curio XR app offers diverse educational experiences—all for zero initial costs and zero ongoing costs. All you need are the VR headsets (see Hardware (Devices) Needed), which are now surprisingly affordable and available at every retailer (and even through a Free Device Lending Program).

Tens of thousands of college students engage in coursework covering game design, immersive experiences, Unity, 3D graphics, art, databases, UI/UX, networking, and other computer science subjects. Instructors across the world are now bringing real-world relevance into their curriculum by partnering with the Curio team to give their students real-world experience building on the Curio XR platform. This not only builds the portfolio of the students, but the students’ creations are immediately used across the globe. Check out some of the Current Collaborations to understand how pairing student-builders with subject-matter experts means more incredible free content for learners across the globe. Interested in giving your students hands-on design and/or development experience on a real-world project, working with a professional team? Check out the Builders page.
Curio Benefits Researchers
Research is at the core of what we do. Are you interested in measuring the efficacy of VR or AR in education? Working on a grant-funded project or looking to team up on a grant application? We collaborate daily with researchers on various initiatives aimed at enhancing education, and we are always eager to explore opportunities for partnership. We even maintain a repository of VR research studies from the field, if you’re looking to show others that VR truly works. Visit our Researchers page to learn more.
