Completed platform migration gives Optima greater control over its intellectual property while supporting more scalable, secure, and engaging student experiences
NAPLES, Fla., September 2, 2026 – Optima, a leader in immersive education and AI-powered learning, today announced a strategic partnership with Arthur, an AI-powered platform for immersive experiences and human-AI collaboration.
Optima has completed the migration of its full library of immersive educational content to the Arthur platform. The company will also use Arthur to develop its next generation of immersive learning experiences and integrate artificial intelligence more deeply throughout those environments.
The partnership provides Optima with greater control over how its immersive and AI capabilities are developed, deployed, and expanded. Optima will retain ownership of its intellectual property while gaining the flexibility to customize experiences, integrate AI technologies, and scale its content across a growing number of students, schools, and educational partners.
“This partnership represents an important step forward in Optima’s long-term technology strategy,” said Adam Mangana, CEO of Optima. “By bringing our immersive content onto Arthur’s platform, we retain ownership of the intellectual property we have created while gaining greater control over how we innovate and grow. Most importantly, it gives us a stronger foundation for creating more engaging, personalized, and impactful experiences for students at scale.”
Arthur provides a flexible environment in which organizations can create and deploy customized spatial experiences supported by configurable AI. Its architecture will allow Optima to integrate AI into immersive lessons with greater control over the AI models, knowledge sources, and behaviors used within each experience. The platform also provides the security and scalability needed to support Optima’s expanding educational programs.
“Optima has built an extraordinary collection of immersive educational content and brings a clear vision for how spatial computing and AI can improve learning,” said Christoph Fleischmann, Founder and CEO of Arthur. “We are excited to provide the platform that will help Optima expand that vision, create highly customized learning environments, and bring meaningful AI-powered experiences to more students and educators.”
For students, the partnership will support more intuitive, interactive, and responsive learning experiences. AI can be incorporated directly into immersive environments to guide exploration, provide context, encourage deeper inquiry, and adapt interactions to the instructional purpose of each lesson. Optima’s educators and content teams will maintain control over how those capabilities are designed and used.
The completed migration also establishes a scalable technology foundation for Optima’s future growth. New immersive experiences can be developed and deployed more efficiently while maintaining consistency across Optima’s educational offerings and partner implementations.
“This is about controlling our own destiny,” Mangana added. “We now have the flexibility to build the experiences we believe will have the greatest educational impact, protect the value of what we have created, and respond more quickly as immersive technology and artificial intelligence continue to evolve.”
