Patent Application for Explainable Engineering Education Metaverse Revealed

A patent application for a metaverse-based education system designed to support 3D matrix curricula has been filed, aiming to provide learners with a more immersive and effective education experience. The system utilizes explainable artificial intelligence technology to empower learners with a learner-centered approach. The application highlights the challenges faced in the current education system, including the need for multidisciplinary knowledge and the shortage of skilled instructors.

Key Takeaways:

  • The patent application proposes a method of providing improved education using a metaverse-based AI education system, which includes constructing a 3D matrix-type curriculum database, obtaining a student-specific language model, and spawning a virtual NPC tutor.
  • The system uses AI-driven reinforcement learning to determine a curriculum optimized to the individual learner and evaluates their achievement level based on their learning data.
  • The method further includes adjusting the curriculum based on a change in status data of the student, using a deep learning-based curriculum optimization algorithm.
  • The system uses a genetic algorithm-based model search module to search for an improved AI model, compares its performance with the student's AI model, and provides human-interpretable feedback via an AI-powered virtual tutor.
  • The proposed system also includes a deep brain stimulator, a learner-centered metaverse engineering education service, an explainable artificial intelligence-based intelligent education framework, a metaverse execution engine, a metaverse computing, a human-computer interface, and a computing infrastructure.

Statistics:

  • The patent application was filed on January 30, 2024, and posted on July 24, 2025.
  • The system uses a 3D matrix-type curriculum database, which consists of subject information corresponding to each curriculum for each technology.
  • The system utilizes a student-specific language model, which is obtained by fine-tuning a large-scale AI model using a student-specific learning data.
  • The virtual NPC tutor provides an education service to the corresponding student based on the student-specific language model.
