Leveraging Virtual Reality and AI Tutoring for Language Learning: A Case Study of a Virtual Campus Environment with OpenAI GPT Integration with Unity 3D

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach to multiple language learning, with Hindi the language to be learnt in our case, by using the integration of virtual reality environments and AI enabled tutoring systems using OpenAIs GPT api calls. We have developed a scenario which has a virtual campus environment using Unity which focuses on a detailed representation of our universitys buildings 11th floor, where most of the cultural and technological activities take place. Within this virtual environment that we have created, we have an AI tutor powered by OpenAI's GPT model which was called using an api which moves around with the user. This provided language learning support in Hindi, as GPT is able to take care of language translation. Our approach mainly involves utilising speech to text, text to text conversion and text to speech capabilities to facilitate real time interaction between users and the AI tutor in the presence of internet. This research demonstrates the use of combining VR technology with AI tutoring for immersive language learning experiences and provides interaction.
