The project aims to create a complete virtual, 3D school, enabling students to interact with each other, with mentors and virtual objects in an immersive environment. “We want to provide users with a variety of engaging and diverse experiences in the virtual space, to foster bonds better than even in real-life classes. There are many educational institutions interested in this technology, but their determination for real-life application is not as strong as FUNiX, a fully online school,” CEO [email protected] Luke Liu said.
As an online school, FUNiX is always a pioneer in applying new technologies. FUNiX is the first school in Vietnam to provide ChatGPT premium accounts for all students, and to host a ChatGPT Hackathon to encourage students to take advantage of AI tools in their learning.
Most recently, FUNiX also equipped students with an AI audio filter for optimal digital learning experiences. Building a Metaverse school is expected to promote cross-platform creativity for FUNiX students, according to CEO FUNiX Le Minh Duc.
