English Teaching Assistant VR is the world's first fully animated chat-bot in VR. It can keep up with conversations and accurately answer questions. It can dance, recite poetry, play games with you, and even tell jokes. It is also able to make eye contact, and lip-sync. This is a free tester software that has been developed to display and showcase our most recent successes with development. It is currently in development and will receive monthly updates and additions, such as new locations, new skins, and overall general changes. It will eventually be used to direct English language learning courses and programs.CONTROLS:In order to speak to the bot, please hold down the correct push-to-talk button while you say your sentence.
