Bodyswaps is an AI-powered immersive learning platform designed for VR, PC, and mobile devices that helps learners develop real-world soft skills like communication, empathy and leadership through realistic simulations and role-plays.
It does this by combining scaffolded learning modules, customisable AI roleplay and behavioural feedback, and makes these experiences available across VR headsets, desktop computers, and mobile devices so organisations can scale soft skills training without being limited to one type of hardware.
The Virtual Reality mode is what many users associate most with Bodyswaps: a fully immersive simulation where learners feel like they are “inside” a scenario. In these virtual environments, learners interact with AI-controlled characters using natural speech and body language.
The platform places learners in simulated real-world interactions like challenging conversations, teamwork, or job interviews that feel psychologically real but safe to practise and fail in.
Learners use VR headsets to physically look around, make gestures, and speak in context, which strengthens the sense of “being there.”
Bodyswaps supports a range of standalone VR devices:
While a VR headset isn’t required for Bodyswaps overall, the immersive qualities are strongest and most embodied when learners use dedicated VR gear.
Bodyswaps isn’t limited to VR, it also works on desktop and mobile platforms. This means learners can access the same core experiential learning without specialised hardware.
Learners can download the Bodyswaps application on Windows or macOS, or access content through web browsers.
On desktop, interaction shifts slightly: instead of full motion and 3D presence, users engage via screen, mouse/keyboard controls, and voice, still participating in AI roleplays and realistic dialogue.
Desktop is ideal for classroom computer labs or remote learners without VR hardware.
Bodyswaps offers native mobile apps that let learners complete scenarios on phones or tablets.
While the experience isn’t fully immersive like VR, mobile brings portability and accessibility so that learners can practise skills anytime, anywhere.
Across both desktop and mobile, learners are still speaking naturally to virtual characters and making decisions that affect their progress, maintaining the simulation-based learning core of the platform.
No matter how learners access the platform, Bodyswaps maintains a consistent learning framework rooted in evidence-based practice and AI-driven reflection:
Learners receive automated, personalised feedback on their communication, behaviour and decisions, based on AI analysis of voice content and interaction choices.
Feedback aligns with defined learning objectives and offers actionable insights for improvement, not just scores.
Educators and facilitators can track progress across modes using the Bodyswaps Go dashboard or integrated LMS tools.
Analytics include usage data, confidence ratings, behavioural insights and completion metrics — enabling evidence-informed decisions for curriculum planning and assessment.
The same scaffolded modules and customisable roleplays are available regardless of device, ensuring learners get similar learning experiences whether they’re in VR or tapping through on mobile.
Plus, the titular body-swap feature is available on all roleplays and relevant modules, no matter which device learners use.
