UNIVERSE is designed with virtual spaces like classrooms, meeting rooms, and collaborative spaces where students interact with each other through customizable avatars. Intuitive controls and purpose-built in-classroom features allow teachers to teach online in ways that they are already familiar with. Teachers can utilize comprehensive teaching tools such as screen-sharing, presenting their camera feed, and creating pop quizzes to best suit the needs of each class. Meanwhile, students can collaborate through open discussions in the main learning space or break out into different meeting rooms for more focused discussions.

UNIVERSE was built for broad accessibility, not dependent on any special hardware. It is designed to work on Windows PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, iOS, and Android devices. In addition to supporting class activities, UNIVERSE can be used to facilitate other scholastic-related environments where there is a need for discussion, information sharing, and collaboration.
