Talespin Launches Groundbreaking Extended Reality Learning App on Meta Quest

[Los Angeles, September, 28 2023] — Today, Talespin, a spatial computing company focused on workforce skills development, announced the launch of its extended reality (XR) learning app on Meta Quest.

Originally launched as an enterprise offering in 2019, Talespin has since helped hundreds of thousands of employees at Fortune 500 organizations reskill and upskill with XR. Now anyone can access Talespin’s virtual worlds. 

In these rich virtual experiences, users simulate conversations with artificial intelligence (AI)-powered virtual human characters, navigate role playing game (RPG)-style experiences, and ultimately walk away with validated skills that are critical for today’s workforce.

As AI reshapes businesses, workforce perspectives diverge and hybrid work environments become standard, the demand for essential skills that promote effective communication, collaboration and unbiased thinking is growing. Talespin uses immersive learning experiences to help people cultivate and master these essential abilities, enhancing their innate-human value in a workplace augmented by technology.

Key Features of Talespin:

• Diverse Learning Content Titles: Dive into a vast library of immersive learning content that covers a wide range of essential skills. Talespin offers a diverse selection of lessons and scenarios tailored to various skill levels and objectives.
• Immersive Worlds: Content titles in the app place learners in RPG-style simulations where they explore contextually relevant virtual worlds, navigate challenges and walk away with validated skills.
• Interactive Real-Life Lessons: Engage in interactive lessons that replicate real-life situations. Practice leadership, communication and problem-solving skills in dynamic and engaging virtual worlds.
• Personalized Feedback: Receive timely and personalized feedback to facilitate continuous growth and improvement. Talespin tracks and analyzes learning progress and skills development.
• Inclusive Learning Journey: Talespin is designed for learners of all backgrounds and goals—whether you are aiming for career advancement, entrepreneurial success or personal development.

"Essential skills are a cheat code for helping to bridge differing perspectives and accomplish our goals as humans. Immersion into virtual worlds where we can practice skills and gain real experience is a paradigm shift in personal and professional growth,” said Kyle Jackson, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Talespin. "We have seen incredible success helping our customers’ employees accelerate their skills development with XR. Now we’re thrilled to make our app available to people everywhere and to support their growth.”

Talespin will bring marquee titles from its enterprise immersive learning content library to Meta Quest’s 20 million users. These XR content titles include “Where’d Everybody Go?" and "Leading Through Uncertainty.” A roadmap of additional titles will be published regularly to the offering going forward, including an upcoming content release from Singularity University.

Talespin's new consumer XR app arrives as the latest component of its immersive learning platform, joining its generative AI-powered content authoring tool and skills analytics dashboard.
