🚀 What's New in IMMERSE
This update makes IMMERSE easier to set up and use with AI Glasses, with enhancements to the overall experience. Executive Coaching learners can now manage their sessions directly in the app, while Coach and speech recognition have been improved for greater accuracy. VR users will also benefit from several fixes, along with numerous updates across web and mobile to make IMMERSE smoother and more reliable for everyone! Here's everything that's new:
💭 Do I need to update the VR app?
Yes. The VR update is a full app update. Please download it before you join a class.
🕶️ AI Glasses Improvements
IMMERSE now uses Meta's official AI Glasses SDK, which makes connecting and staying connected easier.
- If linking from the Meta AI app doesn't work, you now see a message that tells you so
- If you haven't given IMMERSE access to the glasses camera, you now see a short explanation of why it's needed
- On Android, a fresh install connects to AI Glasses without restarting the app
- On Android, your glasses now reconnect on their own if the connection drops
- If your glasses need an update, the message now says so clearly, and you can tap Try again once the update is done
- You can disconnect your glasses from the login screen
🎓 Executive Coaching in the App
Executive Coaching learners can now manage their sessions in the IMMERSE app.
- Set your availability
- See your booked sessions in your own tab and on the Calendar tab
- Cancel or reschedule sessions directly in the app
You can cancel or reschedule up to half of your sessions, and no later than 12 hours before a session starts. After either limit, the buttons are turned off and explain why.
💭 Is this available to me?
This is available to learners on Executive Coaching business contracts, not under a commercial Essential or Pro subscription. Executive Coaching emails now come from scheduling@immerse.com.
🎙️ Smarter Speech Recognition in the Capture Feature
- Better language detection — Speech recognition now knows which language you are practicing, so your speech is less often transcribed in the wrong language. You'll notice this most in Listen.
- More accurate photos in Artifacts — When Coach saves a photo with an Artifact, it now uses the image Coach was talking about.
- More saved vocabulary — Coach now saves more of the phrases and vocabulary it teaches to your Artifacts.
✨ Polished Sign-Up & Onboarding
We refreshed the sign-up and sign-in screens to make getting started easier.
- On a laptop, the plan step now fits on screen without scrolling. On tablets, plans stack so each one is easy to read.
- On wider screens, onboarding content now fades at the top and bottom edges as you scroll, just like on phones
- Take Placement Test is now a clear purple link under Get Started
- The placement test option is hidden for languages that do not have a placement test
- Dropdown lists now open next to their field, include a search box, and mark your current choice with a green check. On phones, you can now search country codes.
- During B2B sign-up, names set by your institution's invite are now locked. They appear dimmed with a lock icon. If a name is wrong, Customer Success can correct it on the account.

🧑💼 For Program Administrators
A few updates for those managing IMMERSE for their teams:
- The app (mobile and web) now tracks class bookings and cancellations. Class booking activity from the app will start appearing in your reporting. This does not change time on site.
- The app (mobile and web) now tracks translation, Language Assist, profile changes, and notes in the same way as VR
- Lesson module ratings from mobile are now recorded in the same way as VR
- Fixed an issue where two accounts used on the same device could be combined into one learner in analytics. This applies to data collected after a learner updates the app. Past data is not corrected.
