COMMON QUESTIONS
How does a Centre of Excellence VR lab work at a university?
VR Astra builds and operates fully equipped VR labs within university campuses. The Centre of Excellence includes VR hardware, a curated library of 200+ simulation modules, institutional branding, faculty onboarding, student progress dashboards, and ongoing technical support. The lab operates as a shared resource across departments, with content libraries customized to the institution's academic programs.
Which university departments benefit most from VR simulation?
Engineering (mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical), medical and allied health sciences, architecture, pharmacy, and skill development programs see the highest impact. Any department where physical lab access, expensive equipment, or safety constraints limit student practice frequency benefits directly. VR removes these constraints and delivers unlimited, repeatable lab access to every student.
Can VR Astra modules integrate with a university LMS?
Yes. VR Astra learning records export via xAPI to any compatible LMS or LRS including Moodle, Canvas, and custom university platforms. Faculty access dashboards showing completion rates, assessment scores, and skill gap analysis by student, batch, or department. This integrates with existing student information systems without requiring additional IT infrastructure.
What does the Centre of Excellence program cost?
Investment varies by institution size, department scope, and support tier. The Centre of Excellence starts from Rs 2.5 lakh for pilot configurations, scaling to full institutional setups with dedicated on-site support. VR Astra works with universities under a Build-Operate-Transfer model where the institution progressively builds internal capability over a 2 to 4 year handover timeline.
