Futuclass Physics modules
What is Futuclass Physics VR?
Futuclass is a curriculum-aligned STEM VR platform developed in Estonia, co-created with award-winning science teachers including Katrin Soika, Estonian Gymnasium Teacher of the Year 2016. Its physics modules sit within a broader platform of 12 science lessons — each a standalone 30–45 minute interactive lesson built specifically for secondary school classrooms, combining hands-on virtual experimentation with structured assessment.
The physics offering currently has two core modules — Electric Circuit and Nuclear Reactions — alongside recommended partner apps that extend into stellar evolution and orbital mechanics. Each module has two stages: a Learn mode where students work through the interactive lesson, and an Exam mode where they are tested on what they've just experienced. Results feed directly into the teacher's web portal for real-time progress monitoring.
For schools, pricing is $199 per device as a lifetime licence — all current and future modules included, no recurring subscription fees. Individual modules are $7.99 each on Meta Quest and Steam. Free demos are available to trial before purchase.
What's Covered?
Students assemble real circuits using virtual batteries, wires, resistors and measuring instruments — with no risk of short circuits or broken equipment. The module builds through series and parallel configurations, introducing voltage, current and resistance in a hands-on context before students apply Ohm's Law and verify results by measuring with virtual ammeters and voltmeters.
Nuclear physics is notoriously abstract — forces operating at scales billions of times smaller than anything visible, energies impossible to intuit from numbers on a page. This module makes it tangible. Students explore atomic charge and electromagnetic forces, manipulate isotopes, and ultimately fuse atomic nuclei — watching the energy release happen in real time. The experience of doing nuclear fusion in VR creates a visceral understanding that equations alone cannot provide.
The Classroom Platform
Teachers control which modules students access from their computer or tablet, and manage headset sessions remotely. The school kit includes onboarding calls, curriculum integration guidance, and optional 6-week mentoring programmes for staff. Supported languages include English, Dutch, Chinese, Estonian and German.
How Well Does It Fit?
Primary focus is GCSE Physics (KS4) — both modules align directly with the electricity and atomic/nuclear physics units in AQA, Edexcel and OCR specifications. The Nuclear Reactions module is also relevant to A-Level students encountering nuclear forces and fusion where visualisation is the challenge. Electric Circuit is valuable from KS3 upward. Recommended age: 13+.
What Are People Saying?
"The Nuclear Reactions module transformed a complex topic into an engaging experience. Students could visualize nuclear forces and reactions firsthand, making abstract concepts like fusion more tangible. It sparked curiosity and led to deeper classroom discussions."
"Using VR to learn about nuclear reactions was awesome! I could see how atoms split and combine, and it made the whole process easier to understand. It really helped seeing the atoms and watching it happen."
"The Electric Circuit VR module gave my students a hands-on way to explore circuit basics with zero setup beyond the headset. Watching them build circuits with batteries and resistors in real time helped solidify concepts like current flow and voltage far more effectively than a textbook ever could."
"I really love these games. These have helped me and my students a lot. I use them in ordinary class lessons in group work and individual learning. Students have the ability to learn by themselves — either faster than others or by repeating previously learned knowledge. I have seen the success and pleasure of my students."
