Today, January 21, we successfully completed a large-scale EcoDriveXR pilot with 60 students in collaboration with Secondary Vocational School of Industrial Technologies in Kosice (SOŠ KOŠICE ŠACA).
Students tested our XR application in rotating groups using XR headsets. The outcome exceeded expectations. Engagement was high, feedback was strong, and the classroom dynamics clearly showed the potential of XR-based education.
Our goal
To measure the real impact of XR education on student learning outcomes and compare it with traditional teaching methods.
What’s next
We are now analyzing quantitative and qualitative data from the pilot. The results will provide evidence-based insights on how XR can improve vocational education and student performance.
Huge thanks to the school, teachers, and students for their openness, energy, and trust. This is how innovation in education should be tested: in real classrooms, with real students, and real data.
60 students in one day is no small feat for XR pilot!
Great to see local schools embracing innovation to give their students a head start.
Keep up the good work!
We continue testing EcoDrive XR for another day.
Today, 40 students took part, including 32 girls, from Private Grammar School Dneperská 1, which expressed strong interest in testing the EcoDrive XR solution.
We are especially encouraged by the high participation of girls. It confirms that XR technologies can effectively motivate young people, including girls, to engage in technical and sustainability-focused education.
EcoDrive XR is being implemented by MATSUKO in collaboration with Secondary Vocational School Košice-Šaca, as part of the XR2Learn project funded under the Horizon Europe programme.
Through XR2Learn, we are validating how immersive XR learning, emotion-aware analytics, and holographic instruction impact student engagement and learning outcomes.
More insights coming soon.
I really like the achievement you shared. As a student who has tried a similar XR training experience, I found it surprisingly engaging and confidence-boosting. Using XR made technical and sustainability topics much more approachable — instead of feeling abstract, everything was visual, interactive, and connected to real-life situations.
What I liked most was that it didn’t feel intimidating. I could learn at my own pace, try things out, make mistakes, and understand why something worked or didn’t. It definitely made me more interested in technical subjects, even ones I wouldn’t normally choose.
I’m curious: what kind of feedback did the students share after the session? And did XR help them feel more confident about pursuing technical or sustainability-related studies?
Congratulations to the EcoDriveXR team and partners for this very solid pilot.
Testing XR at this scale, in real classrooms with real students, is exactly how its educational value should be assessed. The high engagement, strong feedback, and especially the participation of girls are powerful signals that immersive learning can make technical and sustainability topics more accessible and motivating.
Looking forward to the data analysis and insights !
