🚀 What’s New in IMMERSE!
We’re excited to introduce the latest updates to the IMMERSE platform! This release contains exciting new announcements, improvements, and fixes to enhance your learning experience. Check it out!
🇧🇷 Portuguese Now Available as a Target Language
You can now practice and learn Portuguese in IMMERSE! Expand your language skills by IMMERSE-ing yourself in this new language!
🏦 New "Bank" Scene
A brand-new Bank scene is now available for lessons! Perfect for real-world practice, this environment helps members build confidence in banking-related conversations.
🤖 AI-Powered Avatars in Community Spaces
We’ve (re)introduced AI-powered avatars to community spaces! These avatars are similar to AI avatars from the past, but have been simplified for more natural use. There will be anywhere from 2-5 avatars per space that can be interacted with.
🗣️ Where do I practice with AI avatars?
Go explore a public or private space in the "Community" tab to find and interact with these AI avatars.
Some things to note:
These avatars are ONLY in the public and private spaces and not the Language Exchange (Commons).
Avatars can only be spoken to by one member at a time.
Your voice and the avatar’s response can be heard by all members in the space.
There is a new welcome board in each community scene to highlight available activities and provide quick access to the new AI avatars.
🎭 New Meta Avatars
The original Meta avatars have been replaced with the new Meta avatars. One significant improvement is that they now have legs! Please note:
The old Meta avatars have been removed by Meta and will no longer be available.
All AI avatars have also been updated to use the new avatars.
How do I change my avatar?
You can select and edit these new avatars in the same way that you could select and edit the old version.
