CareerViewXR, an immersive edtech startup, has launched a statewide initiative to distribute over 300 HTC VIVE VR headsets and accompanying immersive learning software to schools across North Dakota. The initiative marks a growing partnership between HTC VIVE and CareerViewXR to distribute VIVE Focus Plus headsets to education groups in the region. CareerViewXR offers a cross-platform immersive learning service that students can access on various devices, partly achieved by the platform’s web-based operations, which allow for a quick set-up process. The firm’s web-based service is already widely used in the region’s schools, providing a foundation for students to leverage an XR device. The 2023 Legislative Assembly granted US dollars to the Department of Current Tech Ed to contract to provide virtual reality exploration experiences to students across the state, and the firm rolled it into their existing career exploration platform.
