JAKARTA - WIR Group (PT WIR ASIA Tbk), an immersive technology and web3 company focused on Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and blockchain, through its subsidiary Nusameta, in collaboration with Santa Angela School Bandung to build Angelaverse (joint from Angela and Metaverse).

Angelaverse is a metamesta built to enrich the facilities and experience of information technology-based teaching and learning activities. The methamphetamine was launched to coincide with the 118th anniversary of Santa Angela School Bandung.

An immersive and interactive learning environment has proven to have many benefits in the world of education. By allowing students to explore historic events, conduct virtual experiments, and engage in live simulations, this environment provides a more interesting and rich learning experience of experience.

Research also shows that environments like this can add to students' motivation, increase information retention, and hone critical thinking skills and problems-solving. In addition, with advanced AI systems integrated into metamestas, personalized teaching and learning activities can be made for each student based on their respective needs, preferences, and learning styles, thus producing more appropriate and effective education.

Chairman III of the Widya Bhakti Foundation Sister Korina Ngoe, OSU, said Angelaverse's launch was a school response to the progress and development of the times that challenged all education institutions to continue to innovate in producing the output of noble-characterized students.

"Nusameta has helped Santa Angela to prepare teachers to prepare learning content that will be used in the classroom," he said, in a written statement, Tuesday, February 13.

Sister Korina also emphasized that character development is at the heart of teaching and learning activities at Santa Angela.

While other technologies may provide some level of interactivity or virtual content, Angelaverse goes beyond that by creating an interactive learning space where students can fully engage with content and improve their learning experience. By including elements of the game, Angelaverse can motivate students to actively participate and remain involved in their learning.

In addition, AI integration allows personalized teaching and learning activities, adapting educational experiences to the needs and preferences of each student. These transformative features distinguish Angelaverse and make it a powerful tool to revolutionize teaching and learning in educational institutions.

WIR Group's Chief Metaverse Officer and Nusameta CEO Stephen Ng explained, Santa Angela was the first school to work with Nusameta to build the Metaverse for educational purposes. This launch was carried out to address the many developing technologies, but not transformative.

"Metaverse, for Nusameta, is a transformative technology, because what students will enjoy later is an interactive learning space where they can add learning experiences through various technological innovations such as gamification and AI," said Stephen.

Angelaverse is expected to contribute to character development in teaching and learning activities by providing students with the opportunity to develop important properties such as persistence, teamwork, and various other skills. For example, in virtual simulations that require students to work together to solve complex problems, they can learn the value of collaboration and cooperation.

In addition, Angelaverse can include scenarios that present ethical dilemmas, allow students to make decisions and reflect on the consequences of their actions, encourage critical thinking and moral development. By integrating character development elements into immersive and interactive learning experiences, Angelaverse can help students develop not only academic knowledge but also important social values.
