This work-in-progress paper presents MetaIfes, a virtual reality platform designed for students in technical education and higher education courses. The platform aims to deliver immersive experiences across various fields of knowledge. Developed using Unity and C#, the application includes educational modules on topics such as computer assembly, operation of mechanical lathes, geographic exploration, underground mining, cellular biology, and internal combustion engine mechanics, along with features for adding new modules. Tested on Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3S devices, the platform seeks to reduce costs, enhance safety, and increase student engagement in the learning process. This paper discusses the development methodology, expected results, challenges encountered during development, and the potential of MetaIfes to transform educational processes.
