Teacher led creation
​
Our VR education product is designed to provide an immersive and engaging learning experience that brings curriculum concepts to life. Developed in close collaboration with teachers and education specialists, it has been rigorously tested and refined (a lot!!) to ensure it meets the needs of both educators and students. By leveraging the power of virtual reality, we create dynamic, interactive environments that enhance comprehension and retention, making complex topics more accessible and memorable.
​
Aligned with the Australian Curriculum, our VR experience seamlessly integrates with classroom learning objectives. Through extensive feedback and real-world testing, we have tailored each module to reinforce key educational outcomes, ensuring that students gain valuable insights in a way that is both meaningful and enjoyable. Our commitment to educational integrity means that every aspect of the program is designed to support and make things easy for teachers and schools in delivering engaging and effective learning for kids.
​
To maximize the learning impact, we provide a detailed lesson plan for students to complete before their VR session. This pre-visit preparation ensures that they arrive with foundational knowledge, allowing the virtual experience to deepen their understanding and highlight key learning points. By combining structured lesson plans with immersive technology, we create a comprehensive educational journey that enhances student engagement, curiosity, and retention.
​
​
Gears and Gadgets
​
Many of the experiences offered at Metaphysica are created by the company itself. The Stem learning package offers students a chance to try one of our interactive experiences (VR Escape Room) and then chat with some of the developers on how it was created.
​
The chat includes discussion on the nature of computer coding and development, the challenges of working in Virtual Reality, and how we take advantage of and leverage the power of VR.
​
Students will then split into small groups and try to develop a project plan that takes advantage of VR using the learning they just acquired.

How It Works
Groups are divided into multiple teams. Teams are then placed in separate simulation rooms but both teams can play the same game at the same time or choose to play different games!
Who will win? What matters most - your team's score or the time it takes to escape? Play the game to find out.
About Our Facilities
Metaphysica has two VR rooms that can support up to six people in a room per session, so twelve people can play at once.
If you like to eat cake, good news! Our reception area is a space where guests can relax, snack and play video games while waiting for those still playing.
VR Gear
All players will wear wireless HTC Vive Focus 3 headsets, weighing only 785 grams.
These headsets will allow you to move freely and interact in VR. All Metaphysica equipment is very comfortable and most players forget they are wearing it after a while.
The VR Rooms
Our two Virtual Reality rooms are monitored by our staff members while your game is being played. Metaphysica Game Masters’ can communicate with you via microphone and see your game in both the virtual and physical world. Game Masters will offer assistance if required.
