Salsa XR

Salsa XR is an app that helps users master the basic steps of salsa before they start dancing with partners. With Salsa XR, dancers can take as much time as they need to practice the basics.

The tutorial explains how to use the app, making it feel like you’re getting personalized coaching from a live person.

17 Jan 2025: We updated Salsa XR with a patch that addresses bugs (inability to choose steps) and improves overall app performance.

Key Features

XR-specific UX

We developed and tested the UX to ensure the user benefits from the new environment. A user can adjust their assistant and dashboard to where it’s convenient.

Tutorial

The tutorial shouldn’t be too long or too short: we need to explain all the peculiarities of the app and not get our audience bored. We tested the tutorial on people with little experience in VR/XR, and did our best to find that balance between the timing and detail.

Salsa coach

The coach has human-like features: lip sync, body language, and natural leg movement. During the tutorial the coach provides a detailed explanation of how to use the app, making it feel like you’re getting personalized coaching from a real person.

Language

Now the app is in English, other languages are coming soon.
