Bilbao, Spain, December 15 - The Basque Government has awarded Virtualware (EPA: MLVIR) a 1.5 million euro contract to create and install 12 multi-user virtual reality rooms in vocational training centers across this Spanish region.
The contract was published on the Basque Public Procurement Platform on Dec 14. It is part of the Basque Government's strategy to integrate immersive technologies into education, preparing students for future jobs.
Based on Virtualware's proprietary VIROO platform, the same used by major companies such as GE Hitachi and ADIF, these VR Rooms will enable interactive, cost-effective, and secure learning experiences while helping to connect in collaborative virtual environments.
The easy-to-use platform allows teachers and students to create, manage, and deploy virtual reality learning resources quickly and easily.
With this new contract, a total of 34 vocational training centres across the whole of Spain will now be equipped with the VIROO platform, setting the standard for this type of technology in education.
The initiative places the Basque Country at the forefront of implementing advanced educational technologies.
