As part of the Erasmus+ SAFAR project, the University of Žilina collaborated with industrial partners to develop immersive scenarios based on real workplace procedures and operational tasks in industrial environments.

They were designed to enhance students’ situational awareness, their understanding of industrial processes, hazard identification, and the risks and safety measures associated.

Dragging the playhead goes into history!

You can now click anywhere on the video editor sliders to instantly move the playhead to the preferred position in the video.

We’re extremely excited to introduce the AI Scenario Builder, now available in Warp Studio. 😎

When creating a new scenario, you can choose to start from an empty canvas or use AI to kickstart your story. In this case, our AI agent will ask a few questions about your topic. You can even upload your own procedures or instructions as input.

Afterwards, the AI generates a complete scenario with one starting point and multiple possible end-points. From there, everything is fully editable if you'd like to fine-tune the details to match your needs.

We’d love to hear your feedback, and will keep extending its capabilities. 👉 More info here.

Warp VR now supports Arabic and Hebrew across all apps. You can create scenarios in Arabic or Hebrew in Warp Studio, and learners can play them seamlessly on all Warp VR apps, including VR headsets, desktop, tablet, and mobile.

This update includes full RTL support, ensuring text, choices, and interfaces are displayed correctly and naturally for RTL languages.

With this release, Warp VR becomes even more accessible for organizations and learners worldwide, without compromising on experience or usability.

We’ve made a small but useful improvement to the Timer element in Warp Studio. Since it’s now possible to set a custom fade-in time per element, we’ve extended this option to the Timer as well.

You can now decide exactly when the timer should start in your scenario. As before, you can still choose whether the timer is shown or hidden when it activates. This gives you even more precise control over timing and pacing in your VR scenarios.

Our app on VR headset, smartphone, tablet, and web, can now be used in six languages! Alongside English, Spanish, German, and Dutch, we’ve added French and Italian.

By default, the app follows your device language, but you can now manually switch to any of the six supported languages. This update affects all interface text in the app. Scenario content, as always, can be created in any language you like.

Ever wished you could play a VR scenario just by talking? No controller, no hand tracking, just your voice. That’s exactly what we’ve made possible. Just speak your answers and move through the story naturally.

Voice control is now available in English, Spanish, Dutch, German, French, and Italian. Activate Voice Control in your scenario settings in Warp Studio to get started.

You can now set a custom fade-in time for every element in your 180° or 360° scenes in Warp Studio. Select an element in the video editor, toggle “Set custom fade-in time”, and use the slider to decide exactly when it appears. Perfect for smoother storytelling.

This will make your scenarios feel more natural and less rushed, while keeping players immersed.
