Parker University, a leader in healthcare education, has partnered with VictoryXR, a leading provider of virtual classrooms and campuses through virtual reality, to build the Parker Metaversity digital twin campus. This unique recreation of the Dallas Campus includes the grounds, building exteriors and interior student spaces in a hyper-realistic 3-D environment.

Other universities that have created similar scenarios have reported increased student engagement, better test scores and overall greater student achievement compared to both traditional on-campus and online courses. Some of the advantages to creating the Metaversity include a fully immersive 3-D space where users can attend and conduct classes, participate in meetings, perform research projects, provide campus tours and more using virtual reality headsets.

The legacy VictoryXR Academy is a multiplayer forum to learn using a library of more than 60 virtual reality classrooms and 9,000 3-D assets built on the ENGAGE platform. Steve Grubbs, CEO of VictoryXR, states, “Just as airlines train their pilots in a simulator, Parker University will take the same advanced technology to their students, leading to better-prepared practitioners.”

Dr. William E. Morgan, the President of Parker University, said, “Parker University remains at the forefront of educational innovation, steadfast in our commitment to harnessing pertinent technological advancements to enrich the learning journey of our students. By establishing our own Metaversity and the availability of thousands of 3-D virtual reality assets, we proudly extend an unparalleled and immersive learning experience. This extraordinary platform will undoubtedly continue our commitment to innovation in teaching and learning.” Students in the chiropractic blended program will have access to the VictoryXR Academy in 2024.
