Homeschooler Features, Price Cut & Steam PC Café Release

Hi immersive Chemistry learners! Futuclass is back with big news: we have applied a fresh coat of paint to our existing VR modules, slashed module prices to 7.99, launched the Steam PC Café version for schools, and we now have a clear path out of early access for this year!

This release includes the following updates:
  • App name is changed to “Futuclass Education” to reflect our ambition for creating educational VR gaming content beyond Chemistry
  • All module prices dropped to 7.99 USD/EUR (previously 9.99)
  • “Homeschooling features” (detailed below) have been implemented to Atom Structure, Reaction Balancing and Salts modules, and will soon be implemented across all Futuclass modules, which will also become available as DLCs
  • Futuclass Education can now be bought via Steam PC Café for commercial or school use. The commercial version will grant access to the entire Futuclass module library, currently at 10 Chemistry and 2 Physics modules. (Compared to Quest or Pico versions, this version does not have the Class feature available)

Here are the new features, developed mostly with homeschoolers in mind but which also school users will enjoy:

Futuclass School Environment (currently only available in PC Café version. Coming soon to the regular version): Start your learning journey in style with our brand-new, state-of-the-art facility for immersive science education.



In-World Tutorials: Say hello to friendly pointing arrows, just-in-time instructions, overall better tutorials, and goodbye to video instructions that clutter up the view. With our in-world tutorials, you'll master the game mechanics without thinking about them, and can thus focus on the learning that matters.



Short Questions for Increased Engagement: To keep you focused and ensure you're fully grasping the concepts being taught, we've incorporated short questions throughout each module. These questions serve as checkpoints to gauge your understanding, provide immediate feedback and reinforce the learning material.



Star Rating for Self-Assessment: After completing each module, you'll be presented with a star rating, allowing you to easily assess your performance. This self-assessment tool encourages you to strive for excellence and motivates you to revisit modules to improve your mastery of the subject matter.



Get ready to embark on an unforgettable educational journey with this latest Futuclass Education update! We're confident that these new features will enhance both your home and classroom learning experience, making it more engaging and enjoyable than ever before. So, put on your VR headset and let's go - learning has never been so much fun!

Atom Structure lesson is here!

Ever wanted to make atoms of which ALL THE THINGS are made of? Now you can!

Use not one, not two, but three “particle guns” to shoot protons, neutrons and electrons to create any element you want! In smoothly progressing difficulty levels, learn what atoms are made of, how they differ between different elements, the logic behind the periodic table, what is a nuclear charge, and much more!

This VR lesson requires you to understand the key concepts of atom structure to master it, but it does not beat you over the head with information. Yet because there is so much useful stuff to know here, for the first time in our VR lesson, there is now a huge touch screen where you can just tap and hear more about any of the related topics anytime.

We hope you enjoy this VR lesson! Atom Structure has been long time in the making, and it's one of the foundational concepts of Futuclass Chemistry.

As always, please leave us any and all your feedback in the comments below! Thanks from all of us at Futuclass!

Salts VR Lesson now available!

Learn about salts in this fast-moving assembly line game. Identify each salt by formula or by name and assemble it from available ions. Get instant feedback and improve over time. Beat 8 levels in escalating difficulty. Answer in-game questions to capture the learning.

Futuclass can be enjoyed by players of any age wishing to learn. However, in most countries the properties of Salts are taught in the curriculum of 8th grade Basic Chemistry.

Hydrogen & Oxygen DLC now available!

Learn about Hydrogen & Oxygen in two lab experiments. See gas molecules with your naked eye and use the properties of gases to light a candle. Combine most active metals with an acid to produce enough hydrogen to launch a rocket. Answer in-game questions to capture the learnings.

Learning Chemistry in VR is fun for everyone, but in most countries this topic is covered in the curriculum of 8th grade Chemistry.
