What Umety does

Umety (legal entity: Umety Solutions Inc.; registered in the USA at 166 Geary St., 15th Floor, Suite #122, San Francisco, with an additional office in Noida, India) is a private educational technology company founded in 2023 that sells a full-stack immersive AR/VR learning platform for the K-12 market. Its product surface combines a proprietary UmetyVR Headset (an education-first 3DoF device with offline capability, pre-loaded content, ~20GB of additional storage, integrated touchpad, and Bluetooth controller) with a Classroom Management Platform supporting rostering (including Google Classroom import), multicast content launch, user/role/subscription management, and actionable analytics. Around this hardware-and-software core, Umety offers a content library it describes as the world's most comprehensive K-12 AR/VR library: 1,000+ immersive lessons (STEM, English Language Learning, career exploration), 1,500+ 3D interactive models, 300,000+ 360° locations, 9,000+ 360° videos, and 20+ interactive virtual landmark tours, plus the UmakeVR authoring tool that allows teachers and students to build immersive experiences without coding.

The platform delivers content across VR headsets, Interactive Flat Panels, Chromebooks, tablets, and computers, and is aligned with 20+ regional curricula (NGSS, Cambridge IGCSE, ICSE, US state standards, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, South Africa CAPS, Vietnam, China, etc.), with accessibility-first Special Education features including voiced/textual options, 3DoF, and single-controller operation. Revenue is generated from three streams: (i) one-time hardware sales of the UmetyVR Headset at approximately $570 per unit plus charging/storage accessories, (ii) recurring per-user SITE subscriptions priced under $1.00/user/month and content module bundles, and (iii) professional services for customized VR content on government and large institutional deployments. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (Request a Demo), a global reseller partner program spanning 40+ countries, a self-serve PLG motion (free 30-day trial of the LMS and WebXR modules), and presence at industry events such as ISTE Live 24 (June 2024). Customer evidence is limited to one named logo (Halton District School Board for special education); other segments include K-12 schools/districts and government education ministries. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent entity, funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investors in the available source material.
