Lifeliqe is also available in virtual reality as HTC Vive's strategic partner for educational VR content and in mixed reality with Lifeliqe HoloLens app.

Lifeliqe is a leader in the latest virtual and augmented reality technologies. Its solutions leverage different types of VR/AR approaches. Using a technology called “stereo rendering,” objects are manipulated in a real environment between the screen and a user’s head. Lifeliqe technology integrates head tracking with full motion parallax and a precision interactive stylus. Lifeliqe also works with sensor-based virtual reality -- technology used by HTC Vive, for example -- to merge real word objects into a virtual reality setup. The combined real word environment uses a two-part system based on stereoscopic 3D rendering on a semi-transparent mirror (i.e. normal or head mounted-glasses).

  Augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR) are poised to become one of the next largest consumer electronics verticals. According to Goldman Sachs, AR/VR has the potential to surpass the TV market in annual revenue by 2025, which would make AR/VR bigger than TV in less than 10 years. And in 2015 alone, AR/VR startups raised a total of $658M in equity financing across 126 deals. (Source: CB Insights)

  According to research by Penn State University, students performing a task with Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) technology were significantly more efficient compared to those who didn’t use IVR. On average, the group using Oculus Rift completed the task in 23.21 seconds while the other group assembled the pot in 49.04 seconds – more than double the first group’s time.

  According to Professor Dr. Anne Bamford, visual learning improves the pupils’ understanding of functionality and by seeing the whole of something, and children are able to understand the parts. The research results indicated that the pupils had a strong preference for visual and kinesthetic learning, with 85% of the pupils preferring seeing and doing while only 15% of pupils preferred hearing.

Lifeliqe is a strategic content partner for education with HTC Vive, the world’s leading manufacturer of the most advanced VR systems. Lifeliqe also partners with HP School Pack 2.0, which is pre-loaded on over 1 million HP devices in 2016 and is VR-enabled, which means students worldwide will be able to use 3D objects in the classroom and at home. Lifeliqe also launched world’s first ever pilot of mixed reality science content in grade 6-12 classrooms on Mircosoft HoloLens, followed by a standalone mixed reality app Lifeliqe HoloLens.

Lifeliqe’s sister company, Corinth, was launched more than four years ago and it has become a leading publisher of advanced interactive content in K-12 education. As Corinth’s content library grew, there was overwhelming demand from schools, educators, students and parents for direct access to all of Corinth’s flagship content -- Corinth Classroom. After 15 months of development, the team built the Lifeliqe visual learning and productivity platform that is the content hub for all Corinth content and it is available to anyone. Shortly after launching Lifeliqe app, the team started working on bringing the content into medium even more immersive - virtual reality. The efforts were noticed by HTC Vive, who in the end chose Lifeliqe as its strategic partner for education. After mere 5 months into the partnership, Lifeliqe launched its first VR product called “Lifeliqe VR Museum” on Viveport.
