    Brief

    This opportunity seeks development of an AI-powered software system that leverages virtual reality (VR) technology to deliver immersive skills training for university students. The platform will enable students to participate in realistic role-play scenarios and practice real-world situations in a controlled, interactive environment. The system should utilize artificial intelligence to personalize learning experiences, provide feedback, and adapt scenarios based on student performance. Suppliers should understand that this is an educational technology solution designed to enhance experiential learning, improve student engagement, and bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application across various academic disciplines and professional competencies.
