Entry Description

1% of the total population who suffer from a neurological disorder called stuttering. VRbal was created with a mission to make practicing for these scenarios easier with artificial intelligence in virtual reality. The AI agent enables a virtual environment that adapts to the user’s needs as training progresses. There are several built-in difficulty levels, allowing users to practice with different types of environment, noise levels and numbers of audience based on their levels of comfort. Before each level, users can pick a relaxation scene to practice challenging words or vowels or relax.
