Expanded zSpace CTE Applications Debuting at VISION
Automotive Technology – Electric, Hybrid, and Heavy Vehicle Systems
The expanded automotive pathway introduces new applications aligned to the future of transportation, including electric vehicle systems, high-voltage safety, hybrid technologies, battery diagnostics, and heavy vehicle mechanics. At Upper Bucks County Technical School, instructor Patrick Chrinko transformed the automotive lab into an immersive learning environment where students explore complex systems—like engine mechanics and electrical circuits—before ever touching a physical vehicle.
"zSpace has revolutionized how I teach," Chrinko said. "My students don't just learn about engines—they're immersed in them. They gain visual, hands-on experience that prepares them for real-world diagnostics and decision-making."
Health Science – MA Skills, Virtual ECG and BodyViz
The health science suite continues to grow with new applications including Medical Assistant (MA) Skills for foundational clinical competencies, Virtual ECG by zSpace that enables hands-on practice in lead placement and rhythm interpretation, and BodyViz, which provides interactive anatomy and medical imaging experiences using real MRI/CT datasets.
Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics
New simulations give students opportunities to explore materials, tools, automation, robotics fundamentals, workflow processes, safety, and troubleshooting. These realistic experiences help build confidence before students enter real lab environments.
Career Explorer – Connecting STEM Learning to Career Pathways
Career Explorer allows students to investigate dozens of high-demand career fields, understand what various jobs require, and see how classroom concepts align with real-world skills.
Introducing zStylus One – Precision-Based AR Learning for CTE
The recently announced zStylus One enhances all CTE learning applications with embedded sensors, advanced machine learning calibration, and heightened precision. These capabilities support realistic, hands-on practice in automotive diagnostics, health science procedures, engineering tasks, and more.
Shaping the Future of CTE
"CTE programs need accessible, scalable technology that mirrors industry," said Paul Kellenberger, CEO of zSpace. "Our expanded CTE app suite—paired with the precision of zStylus One and the power of AI—gives students immersive, skills-based experiences that prepare them for high-demand technical careers."
