Dr. Venus Chan at HKMU created XR MALL, a free Extended Reality (XR) mobile app for immersive, flexible training in interpretation and public speaking. By combining VR and AR, the app offers real-world scenarios like press conferences, allowing students to practice interpretation and speech independently anytime, enhancing motivation and learning outcomes. Applications include skill development in consecutive and simultaneous interpretation, and public speaking. The app records performances for analysis, enabling students to track and improve their skills. This innovation expands access to high-quality, context-based learning with the convenience of a smartphone.
