Learning Languages in the Metaverse with Quinn Taber

Our guest on The XR MAG Show for today is Quinn Taber, the founder at Immerse, the metaverse for learning.

 

In early 2018 while working as an investment analyst for a large charitable foundation in the Middle East. Immerse has raised $11.5m from impact investors, been named Meta and ByteDance’s preferred partner for learning, and launched the only two-sided marketplace in the metaverse. 

 

On one side Immerse students learn a foreign language from a live instructor in Immerse’s popular virtual worlds. On the other side of the marketplace, Immerse has created the first platform that allows brands to advertise in the metaverse by launching branded virtual real estate, running metaverse marketing campaigns, and then minting branded digital goods that earn money. The Immerse team was recently named top ten “VR Educator of the Year'' and top ten “Most Innovative VR Company of the Year,” as well as winning six other industry awards.
