This combination is a form of blended learning that engages students at a new level. Dr. Riley's vision is in perfect alignment with ImaginX, who believes that immersive learning does not replace human interaction; rather, it enhances human and social interaction.
Dr. Riley has invested years to create a highly engaging environment with blended learning. After visiting Oral Roberts University in 2019 and testing immersive learning capabilities with augmented and virtual reality, she knew it could meet her vision for personalizing student's education pathways and learning. Dr. Riley states, "I am elated that technology has evolved to the point that education can be advanced to new levels of engagement while taking blended learning to a new level." Riley stated, "Oral Roberts University created the perfect environment, where educators can see the depth and breadth of immersive learning, while helping us find the right solutions and partners to make it a reality at Nathan Hale High School."

The solution will also offer a theater-style setting, numerous full immersion goggles, and hands-on tactile engagement to create almost any 3D, AR, VR, MR, and XR content. The tactile VR workbenches will integrate with Nathan Hales 3D printers, whereby students can view over 50,0000 learning objects, modify the object, and then print the object on the 3D printer. This enterprise approach will give the teachers of Nathan Hale the world's most advanced methods to re-enforce learning with step-by-step procedures to explore learning objects, environments, and career choices in fresh new ways.
Suresh Katamreddy, Chief Operating Officer for ImaginX has seen an explosion in education leaders embrace the incredible manner that immersive learning improves education.

This is the type of program that we will be talking about in our long-range planning journey to see implemented in all the schools, not just Nathan Hale. This is a branding item and I am really excited about it."
