Bodyswaps is a virtual reality platform that helps people develop essential soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, leadership and interview technique, through immersive, AI driven role play. Learners enter realistic scenarios interacting with virtual humans, then switch, or body swap, to see their own performance from another perspective. This body swapping is a powerful tool for self reflection and empathy, helping users understand how they come across and make improvements. The system gives personalised feedback using AI, analysing speech, tone, body language and decision making, and it supports deployment across VR headsets, desktop and mobile. Bodyswaps also provides tools for educators or corporate trainers to build and manage tailored learning journeys, integrate with LMS platforms, and track learner progress.
AI powered roleplay simulations
Learners hold conversations with AI driven virtual humans in realistic soft skill scenarios, such as job interviews or conflict resolution.
Body swapping and perspective taking
After a scenario, the learner swaps bodies with the virtual character to relive the situation from the other side, supporting deep self reflection.
Personalised feedback and analytics
The platform analyses speech, tone and body movement, giving hyper-personalised feedback for improvement.
Custom learning pathways
The Bodyswaps Go web portal lets trainers build custom courses with modules, quizzes and roleplay exercises.

Organisational alignment
- Define the behaviour, competency or soft skill gaps you want Bodyswaps to address, and map modules to your capability framework
- Identify measurable training outcomes, such as behaviour change, communication quality or leadership readiness
- Confirm HR, L&D and people managers are aligned on the use case, with senior sponsor support in place
Infrastructure and technical setup
- Confirm compatible standalone headsets, and charging or storage solutions for fleet management
- Ensure stable Wi-Fi and that firewall or security settings allow app downloads and updates
- Decide on a deployment method, sideload, store deployment or MDM push, and provision a repeatable process for new headsets
Content, session structure and user readiness
- Select the modules relevant to your audience and confirm they align with existing L&D pathways
- Decide whether sessions will be facilitated, semi-supervised or self directed, and plan pre-brief and debrief activities
- Plan intro to VR onboarding, explain how the body swap perspective shift works, and address comfort settings for motion sensitive learners
- Designate a safe, open VR play area and consider inclusion for glasses wearers, limited mobility or neurodiverse learners
Reporting, delivery and post-training integration
- Confirm access to analytics dashboards, define KPIs, and review data privacy policies such as GDPR
- Define who provides on-site troubleshooting, and plan a pilot group, feedback loop and full rollout timeline
- Integrate learnings into coaching conversations or manager one to ones, with a follow-up activity or reflection guide
- Plan reviews of analytics to iterate module selection based on performance and feedback
