Think XR

DEVELOPMENT PERIOD:
The project is developing new processes and From July 2022 to the end of April 2024.
modules for education that will include virtual
and augmented reality technologies (XR technol-
ogies). TARGET AUDIENCE:
Slovenian teachers (mentors) and students.
We have set up an XR technology demonstration
centre in both Slovenske Konjice and Ljubljana,
equipped with state-of-the-art XR technology. In
addition, we have created a 100-hour XR Acade-
my programme that enables teachers and men-
tors to acquire the necessary skills to teach XR
technologies (using Blender and Unity software
tools to develop 3D content in virtual and aug-
mented reality). Mentors are thus trained to im-
part the necessary skills for the jobs of the future,
such as developers of 3D digital twins, Metaverse,
video games and virtual and augmented reality
applications.
In April 2023, we trained the first generation of
mentors (15). We are also piloting the first XR
content for high school and university students,
who will learn new skills in modern XR technolo-
gies. IMPACT & SUCCESS

A national XR and Web 4.0 partnership is under-
way, bringing together experts, educational insti-
tutions, mentors, companies, organisations and
leading practitioners in the field of XR technolo-
gies to develop digital competences. So far, the
partnership memorandum has been signed by 22
organizations (companies, faculties, high schools
etc.).
