VR Expert and digiwelt have agreed to a partnership and long-term collaboration! VR Expert will become the exclusive hardware supplier and service partner in the field of Augmented & Virtual Reality for vocational schools, technical colleges, universities, as well as vocational training and further education in Germany. An AR4School package with oculavis GmbH and VR4School package with revis3d GmbH has been designed by digiwelt in such a way that the hardware and software, which are coordinated and pre-configured, provide an immediate added value through the use of interdisciplinary topics and digital instructional design.
Digiwelt is a matchmaker, connecting competent partners from industry, research, and education, providing holistic consultation, examining funding opportunities, and implementing digitization and Industry 4.0. Digiwelt realizes ideas, acts as a catalyst, and accompanies clients into the digitized work environment. This involves not only the application expertise of new technologies but also the ability to shape digital transformation and ensure the inclusion of people. For this purpose, digiwelt also offers a qualification measure listed and certified by CERTQUA as the “digitalized work environment – process organization 4.0” module.
AR4School
AR4School enables the meaningful use of Augmented Reality in schools, vocational training, and further education by projecting digital content (such as images, videos, datasheets, instructions, 3D models, or animations) into the field of view of the “data glasses.” You can find more information at https://digiwelt.org/ar4school/.

VR4School
VR4School can be used in “digital spaces” for a unique user experience and enhance virtual collaboration on ideas, products, or projects. VR4School not only promotes the learning effect but also enables safe training in “non-risk-free” professions, as dangerous tasks can be practiced virtually in advance.

- 4 x Pico 4 Enterprise VR headsets (VR goggles including controllers)
- 4 x Single case for the Pico 4 Enterprise VR headsets

For years, Revis3D GmbH has been a specialist in interactive 3D applications and complex 3D visualizations. They have developed the product CAD2VR® to easily load CAD models and instantly experience them in virtual reality. CAD2VR® offers completely new immersive learning experiences by making CAD models “experiential” and promoting understanding and collaboration.
Thoughts of the participants
“Of course, the use of modern technologies can also be learned in companies after training or as part of further education measures. But what is the value of vocational training that increasingly conveys outdated work processes and tasks, and inadequately prepares apprentices for the future challenges in their profession? With AR4School and VR4School, we want to make a small contribution and hope for further support from both the industry and school authorities and responsible decision-makers.
By the way, additional school packages, although deficitary for us, are being planned – and I agree with Saskia Esken, who said on March 21, 2023, at the Berlin.Table, ‘We have to show the children: You are worth these investments to us‘ https://table.media/berlin/analyse/wir-muessen-den-kindern-zeigen-ihr-seid-uns-diese-investitionen-wert/,’ says Kevin Plichta, digiwelt GmbH.
“I can’t imagine how AR or VR would have impacted my school days in the 1990s. By introducing young students to immersive technologies today, digitalization will enter traditional companies as soon as they enter the job market,” says Tyler Do from VR Expert.
