The Findings
Participants ranked the VR EdTech startup's app low against competitors. In fact, no one chose our client’s product when asked which VR educational app they would use from the options in our study.
Participants noted two critical reasons for the low ranking: the user interface was confusing and difficult to navigate, and the VR interactions were not as intuitive or responsive as those of competing apps.
Wanting to improve their standing against the competition, the VR EdTech startup took these critical findings and built a new prototype to put to the test — one that was both user-friendly and immersive.
Client's 2023 initial prototype, which was rated low on practicality and high-end aesthetics.​
Client's 2024 Prototype - This prototype, now significantly closer to the practical and high-end aesthetic quadrant.
