Ovation & the Research Behind VR Practice

Research suggests VR practice can reduce public speaking anxiety and build confidence through realistic, repeatable rehearsal.

Alexander Lyon, Communication Coach
Cindy K. Arthur, Instructional Technology at Carl Sandburg College

Educator perspective

“In a classroom, a speech graded by an instructor can feel subjective, making the student defensive. With Ovation, it feels objective. You see the raw data, such as pauses and filler words, and you’re more willing to accept it and grow from it.”
Cindy K. Arthur, Instructional Technology at Carl Sandburg College

Student perspective

“I love the mountain lodge because you talk to multiple avatars instead of just one. The AI avatars ask you questions based on what you are talking about, which makes it feel so real.”
