NameOravita (oravitavr.com)
CompanyOravita is a product and brand of abc multilingual collective AG, Gotthardstrasse 14, 6300 Zug, Switzerland.
What it isAn AI-powered virtual reality platform for practising spoken conversation in a foreign language. It is an add-on to language classes, not a replacement for teachers.
How it worksLearners put on a VR headset, explore a virtual city and talk with an AI avatar that answers in real time. Conversations are unscripted. The avatar adapts to the learner's CEFR level (A1 to C2), recognises objects in the scene and gives the right word and grammar when the learner needs it.
LanguagesThe prototype works in English and French. More languages will follow in 2027. Dialect support is in development, for example European and Brazilian Portuguese, or Spanish from Spain and Latin America. According to the company, no other VR language platform accounts for dialects in this way.
Who it is forIndividual learners who want more speaking practice, language schools and universities that want to give every learner more speaking time, and companies that train staff in foreign languages.
StatusIn beta (2026). The beta runs through pilots with language schools, universities and companies; it is not yet open to individual learners, who can follow the Step into Language newsletter to hear when it opens. Organisations (language schools, universities, companies) get pricing on request, per seat and per year with a minimum of 5 seats, with hardware supplied if needed.
Research and backingInnosuisse innovation project (Swiss Innovation Agency) with ETH Zürich as research partner. Oravita was one of 81 projects selected from around 270 applications in Innosuisse's 2025 call for SME projects. The prototype has been published by IEEE.
