Bodyswaps

Bodyswaps is a company focused on soft skills training using immersive technologies like virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). Founded in 2020 by Christophe Mallet, Tom Szirtes, and Julien Denoel, Bodyswaps transitioned from a VR storytelling agency to a platform dedicated to behavioral change and practical skills development.

Their training platform features realistic VR simulations where users engage in role-play scenarios with virtual characters. A standout feature is the body swap mechanism, allowing learners to see themselves as avatars, which enhances self-reflection and learning. The platform offers over 30 ready-to-use modules covering various soft skills topics, accessible on multiple devices, including VR headsets, PCs, and mobile devices. Bodyswaps primarily serves higher education institutions and the healthcare sector, helping learners prepare for real-world interpersonal challenges. The training aims to build emotional intelligence and effective behavioral responses in sensitive situations.
