Indian classrooms have remained largely unchanged with rows of desks and chalkboards. Question What’s Real (QWR), an XR hardware manufacturing start-up, is reimagining learning. The brand is bridging the gap between conventional learning and the real world with Extended Reality (XR).
QWR's VRone.Edu headsets feature the NCERT curriculum for K-12 in immersive, interactive modules. Focusing on Tier 2, Tier 3 and remote areas, the company has brought VR-based learning to thousands of classrooms, impacting over 2,00,000 students across 19 states. They started in government and private schools where access was limited.
From Mumbai, Delhi and Jaipur to Patna, Ranchi, Dehradun and Raipur, QWR is ensuring that no student is left behind. According to QWR founder Suraj Aiar, the company is redefining teaching-learning experiences to connect theoretical knowledge and practical understanding. He says that their VRone headsets empower kids to learn with all five of their senses.
VR Learning Modules
QWR’s headsets have classroom-ready, curriculum-approved modules that explain complex concepts in ways textbooks can’t. Students can step into a human heart, explore a holographic model, and witness blood flow. VR lets them experience it.
QWR aligns with initiatives like NEP 2022, Samagra Shiksha Yojana, and SDG-4 by making AR/VR education accessible, affordable, and scalable. Only 10% of Indian schools have integrated digital learning tools into teaching. QWR answers this disconnect by making learning feel real.
Curriculum and Aims
The brand has created VR modules that span several subjects from Kindergarten to XII grade. It also aims to build modules for fields that require practical experience, such as engineering, medicine, mechanics, and architecture.
Suraj adds that governments and private institutions trust their solutions. In a world where reality is often out of reach, QWR ensures that students can still experience it. The brand has plans to revolutionise learning and aims to empower India’s human capital. The brand has also launched QWR ISV Program to empower developers to build directly for QWR’s hardware.
