The Virtual Classroom project is an innovative virtual learning space developed on Spatial.io, designed to allow users to attend interactive lessons in an immersive environment. Each workstation provides teaching tools that boost engagement and participation.
The environment was built using Spatial.io’s in-development SDK, with special attention to compatibility with future major releases to ensure platform stability and flexibility. The project was the result of close collaboration with the creative director, who handled the design and layout of the virtual space, while I developed the entire technical and interactive side, making sure all features were integrated smoothly and effectively.
Role and Technical Contribution
As Technical Director, I was responsible for designing and implementing all interactive features, addressing the challenges of working with an SDK under constant development.
Implemented Features
Hand-Raising System
Each workstation includes a virtual button that lets participants request to speak. When activated, a light indicator notifies the instructor who has raised their hand, improving classroom communication.Virtual Display for Teaching Materials
Every station has a small virtual screen prepared for future content-sharing features. This element is designed for seamless integration with any upcoming platform updates.Virtual Environment Optimization
The system is engineered to minimize dependence on Spatial.io SDK major releases, preventing compatibility issues with future updates. I employed scalable technical solutions to guarantee a stable experience for both students and instructors.
Challenges Overcome
Working with an Evolving SDK: Since the Spatial.io SDK was still in development, each implementation required continuous compatibility checks and custom solutions to reduce the risk of future malfunctions.
Ensuring Stability and Scalability: I designed the environment to run smoothly regardless of platform updates, maintaining uninterrupted operation.
Smooth User Interaction: The hand-raising system and virtual monitors are built to be immediate and intuitive, enhancing the learning experience without distractions.
Final Outcome
By combining thoughtful design with robust technology, Virtual Classroom delivers an interactive, accessible, and intuitive virtual space that elevates digital education. This close partnership between creative vision and technical execution creates a learning environment that prioritizes communication and interaction, taking digital teaching to the next level.
