Bodyswaps

Vendor: Bodyswaps

Overview

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.
