Prisms

Prisms (legal name Prisms of Reality, Inc., also known as Prisms VR) operates a spatial learning platform in which students learn math and science concepts through first-person, embodied virtual reality experiences before connecting those experiences to symbolic notation, vocabulary and standard procedures. Modules place students in real-world scenarios — for example plotting waste production against population growth to derive a line of best fit, or neutralizing contaminated water at a simulated wastewater treatment plant — and ask them to complete tasks that build the underlying concept kinesthetically.

The platform targets what the company calls bottleneck concepts in grades 7-11, with libraries spanning grades 7-8 math, Algebra 1, geometry, advanced algebra, high school chemistry and high school biology, and announced future releases covering middle school science, physics, environmental science, grades 4-6 math, AP courses and humanities. The company reports 80+ full-length content and skill-building modules, with grades 4-12 math and science targeted for Fall 2025 and humanities for Fall 2026. The software runs on Meta and Pico headsets, with work reported toward Apple Vision Pro support.

The full solution sold to districts includes VR headsets, charging and storage equipment, mobile device management software, software licenses, a live teacher and admin dashboard with casting and event-timeline views, technical support, and professional development. Additional features include translation of all released modules into six languages (Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Mandarin and Russian), an in-VR assistive agent that guides students during moments of struggle, kinesthetic skill-building practice modules, and post-headset synthesis and paper-and-pencil transfer activities.
