Who and what is Geo?
GEO is a friendly globe companion designed to assist new members during their onboarding process on our platform. It is a virtual assistant that provides guidance and support to users as they navigate through their placement test and Homeroom.
What is Geo's purpose?
The main purpose of Geo is to help users get familiar with our platform and make their learning experience more enjoyable. It offers personalized advice on which activities to try next or areas where they can complete more practice. Geo also provides encouraging feedback and emotional support as users progress through their learning journey.
How does GEO assist with the placement test?
Geo provides clear instructions about how the placement test works, keeps you informed when scenarios change, and offers encouragement throughout the process to ensure you feel supported.
How do I interact with Geo?
Interacting with GEO is easy and convenient.
Greetings When you first log in and enter your Homeroom, there will always be a friendly or quippy greeting to help get you excited to hop into your learning.
Wave or Click - Waving in VR, or clicking on Geo from a computer, will prompt them to give a witty statement for your entertainment.
Homeroom Explanations - If you're new to IMMERSE, anytime you go to a new area in your Homeroom Geo will show a hand icon, signaling you to wave (or click if on a computer) because they have a message to share!
Open Your Class Notes (VR only) - Pressing the A button on your right controller will open your Class Notes menu, which is now displayed using Geo instead of your wrist for easier access and comfort
When using the Language Assist feature, Geo will say and display the word for you!
What are some current limitations of Geo?
Conversations and Questions
Geo is designed to provide helpful information and assist you in navigating IMMERSE. However, it is not designed to hold conversations or answer specific questions just yet. If you have a question or need assistance, please reach out to our support team.
Appearance and Voice
Geo has a unique appearance and voice that is designed to be friendly and approachable. However, at this time, these features are not customizable. We are constantly working to improve Geo's appearance and voice to better serve our users.
Manual Manipulation
Geo does not behave like a physical object at this time. Meaning he cannot be touched, or manually manipulated in any way other than to move his screen out of the way. Our hope is to integrate such features in a future build, making your AI companion even more interactive.
Deactivation, Hiding, and Muting
Currently, there is no way to deactivate, hide, or mute Geo. We understand that some users may prefer not to use Geo or may find it distracting. If this is the case, please provide us with your feedback so that we can implement features in the future to give users more control over their experience.
✨ Our team is continuously working on expanding Geo's capabilities to better assist our users. Your feedback about customization is incredibly valuable and helps us improve future updates, so please be sure to send it to our support team along with any questions or concerns you may have about Geo.
