Inspiration

Many current free language-learning apps lose user following because they fail to engage their user. With virtual reality, our users can theoretically be immersed into the environment that they are trying to learn about.

What it does

Oculingo immerses the user in a scene with many different objects to identify.

How we built it

We used Unity for our 3D models and interaction with the Oculus. For voice recognition and text-to-speech we used Microsoft's Speech API

Challenges we ran into

One of our larger obstacles was with voice recognition. Initially, our voice recognition method only supported English so when we checked for the Spanish solution by spelling it phonetically as if it were English (instead of 'abajo' we spelled 'abaho'). We were able to fix this by changing the localization settings that the .dll file pointed to

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that it works, its educational, and fun!

What we learned

We learned about Unity and thought a good amount about UX in VR.

What's next for Oculingo

An easy addition to Oculingo would be to add many more scenes/ rooms. We could also improve on voice recognition and implement more vocabulary than just nouns.
