The Goal

The goal was to replicate the Vodafone UK Pavilion in virtual reality (VR), providing employees with a dynamic platform to enhance their public speaking skills. In this immersive environment, employees can practice presentations across various virtual settings, upload their own slides and notes, and receive instant, automated feedback. The platform also allows employees to track their progress, while managers can monitor completion rates, assess skill development, and easily measure ROI.

CEO VirtualSpeech

Sophie Thompson

"Bringing the Vodafone Pavilion to life in VR was an exciting challenge that shows just how far immersive learning has come. We’re proud to have created a space where employees can confidently step into the spotlight, sharpen their communication skills, and get real-time feedback, all within a familiar environment. It’s a great example of how VR can make training not only more engaging but more effective too."  

The Solution

With Learning Week approaching in just 6 weeks, the VirtualSpeech team quickly began re-creating the Vodafone UK Pavilion in VR. After visiting the site for reference, they designed the layout, textured the scene, and frequently updated Vodafone with progress.

After incorporating feedback, the final version was rendered, complete with a virtual audience and Vodafone branding throughout the app.
