The Eduverse offers K–12 students "immersive, educational content and amazing VR experiences. They can interact with each other as avatars, all in a secure and controlled environment, inside and outside of the classroom," the company said.

The platform is web-based and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, including VR headsets, laptops, and tablets, for individuals or shared to a class on an interactive whiteboard or other type of display. It is free to use.
