Founded in 2014 by David and Sandra Whelan, ENGAGE XR has evolved into a leading virtual reality (VR) software company, dedicated to revolutionizing how educational content is delivered and consumed worldwide. Their innovative platform enables the creation of virtual classrooms, allowing educators and learners from across the globe to connect in immersive, interactive environments.

The company’s roots in Waterford have significantly contributed to its success. Participation in the New Frontiers programme at ArcLabs, South East Technological University’s Research and Incubation Centre, provided essential support during its formative years. This nurturing environment, combined with Waterford’s growing reputation as a tech hub, has positioned ENGAGE XR at the forefront of educational technology innovation.
