QWR Brings Extended Reality-Based Learning to Classrooms Across India

Through the years, Indian classrooms have remained largely unchanged: rows of desks, chalk on blackboards and a fixation on grades. If education is meant to shape the future, then why is it still stuck in the past? Enter (QWR) Question What’s Real, a deep-tech XR hardware manufacturing start-up that is reimaging learning entirely.

The homegrown brand is bridging the gap between today’s conventional learning methods and tomorrow’s real world with Extended Reality (XR). While VR, AR, and XR have been gradually transforming teaching and learning, QWR represents a full-blown disruption in the space. Its revolutionary VRone.Edu headsets have the NCERT curriculum for K-12 in immersive, interactive modules, thereby opening windows to a world students could once only imagine. 

Most tech revolutions begin in metros. But QWR flipped that. With a focus on Tier 2, Tier 3 and even remote geographies like Kohima (Nagaland), the company has brought VR-based learning to thousands of classrooms, impacting over 2,00,000+ students across 19 states. They started where access was limited - government schools, especially Kendriya Vidayalayas, and underserved districts, alongside private schools - proving that learning isn’t a luxury but a necessity. From Mumbai, Delhi and Jaipur to Patna, Ranchi, Dehradun and Raipur, QWR is ensuring that no student is left behind.

“We believe curiosity begins with the five senses that connect us to the world, often leading to great ideas, thinking, feeling and learning. We’re not just selling headsets but redefining teaching-learning experiences to connect theoretical knowledge and practical understanding. Students shouldn’t just stress over getting good grades, but focus on the bigger picture – learning. And our VRone headsets empower kids to learn with all five of their senses, and not just their notebooks,” says Suraj Aiar, the founder of QWR.

This isn’t a gimmick. QWR’s headsets have classroom-ready, curriculum-approved modules that explain complex, abstract concepts in ways textbooks can’t. A student is not just reading about the human heart but stepping into it, exploring a holographic model, witnessing blood flow, and truly understanding the mechanics of life. Textbooks describe it. VR lets them experience it. 

Further, QWR aligns with key initiatives like NEP 2022, Samagra Shiksha Yojana, and SDG-4 by making AR/VR education accessible, affordable, and scalable, ensuring quality, contextual relevance and tech-enabled learning through active participation.

Why does it matter? 

Today’s students are growing up as digital natives, constantly engaged in video chats and texts through their smartphones. Despite this reality, only 10% of Indian schools have integrated digital learning tools into everyday teaching. Students are spending over 200 days a year in classrooms built for a different era, tested on memorisation, not understanding.

QWR answers this disconnect by making learning feel real. Through multiple partners, the brand has created VR modules that span several subjects taught from Kindergarten to XII grade. It also aims to build modules for fields that desperately require practical experience and not just rote learning - engineering, medicine, mechanics, and architecture.

“There are many players in VR, but when it comes to education, we’ve cracked the code. Governments and private institutions try, test and trust our solutions. Due to this, all solution partners sell their content on our devices,” adds Suraj.

What’s Next?

In a world where reality is often out of reach, whether due to time, cost, or geography, QWR ensures that students can still experience it. The result? A generation that doesn’t just memorise for marks but understands for life. 

With plans to revolutionise learning in avenues like defence, upskilling blue-collar labour, and higher education, QWR aims to empower India’s human capital in an ever-changing world, where new-age tech like AI, VR XR, and robotics, amongst others, has penetrated every aspect of our daily lives. The brand isn’t waiting for change - it is driving it. The brand has also launched QWR ISV Program - India’s biggest XR Developer Grant initiative to empower developers to build directly for QWR’s hardware, enriching India’s XR landscape and removing entry barriers.
