VRSCHOOL, also known as Beijing Weishiku Technology Co., Ltd., was a developer of virtual reality (VR) software designed for immersive education, particularly for the K-12 market. The company was founded in 2015 and was headquartered in Beijing, China.
The firm's core product was a platform that integrated artificial intelligence, internet, and big data technologies to create VR-based learning experiences. The software aimed to provide students with a more engaging and effective way to learn by allowing them to participate in virtual experiments and interactive simulations. This approach allowed for safe exploration of scientific concepts that might be too dangerous or expensive for a physical classroom setting.
VRSCHOOL operated in the EdTech, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual Reality sectors. The company was venture capital-backed, securing an early-stage VC funding round of $1.67 million in July 2016 and a Series A round in September 2017. According to market analysis, the company ceased operations as of January 2022.
