For educators · A free library from ES Designs
Tools and courses for colleges, free to use.
Before ES Designs became a VR studio, I spent 21 years in higher education. These are the tools and courses I built for colleges: 360 video for your programs, ADA Title II accessibility, and teaching with AI.
Every course is free with an account, and so are the accessibility tools. Vantura has a free plan for one instructor and one class.
Vantura: 360 video of your own spaces, on your headsets.
Your labs, clinics, and shops in 360
Faculty film the real places your program teaches in and upload them through a web portal. Each Quest headset pairs once with a short code, and the class library plays offline.
How Vantura works →Start without filming anything
The Quest app is free, and every new account starts with sample 360 lessons. The free plan covers one instructor and one class; larger programs are priced by the department, never per student.
Create a free account →Accessibility: free tools for the ADA Title II deadline.
Public colleges must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 26, 2027 (small entities by April 26, 2028). These tools check against WCAG 2.2, which includes it.
