Different local and national media have talked about this new way of learning languages. Here you can find out more: edinventa.com/mass-media
Heromask has also received different prizes of different kinds that can be found in the section: edinventa.com/awards
Children spend hours playing violent shooter-style video games. Heromask is a shooter modification to make it super motivating to start learning something that would otherwise be tedious and boring, or as a reward or reinforcement if you are already learning it. We have substituted violence for education and it is working!
Heromask is an educational game or toy from a still small and little-known Spanish company that, however, has already received multiple awards, appeared in various media such as El País or Televisión Española and trusted by well-known companies such as Editorial SM . Heromask is a pioneer in making educational video games that children like and, therefore, it is usually the choice of those who seek to make a different and surprising family gift, but that is also useful for the child. Check it out for yourself!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- "With the button you throw laser beams and thus you learn Languages"
As the children explain it, it is the best way we have found to explain it, although it also includes other languages such as French, German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese if you prefer the Heromask Languages pack. Or you can practice mental arithmetic, multiplications, addition, subtraction and division if you have decided on the Heromask Mathematics pack.
- "When the player puts on the 3D glasses he becomes a hero capable of learning any language that comes his way if necessary to save the galaxy"
We recommend it both as an educational resource and as a surprising family gift.
FUN AND LEARNING. BECOME A HERO AND SAVE THE GALAXY WITH HEROMASK!
Compatible with iPhone and Android
Heromask virtual reality glasses are designed to work with the mobile phone we use very day. Verify that your terminal has an operating system equal or higher than Android 7.0 or iPhone 5s and above, dimensions less than 16 x 8 cm and has a gyroscope sensor.
Fun for the whole family
Although the game is aimed at learning for children from 5 to 12 years old, it also entertains adults ... Especially and to our surprise grandparents! In addition, with its adjustable strap you can easily adapt them to your comfort.
Always updated
We are constantly developing new educational games to increase the variety and avoid the monotony of a single game. What is your favorite?
WHY DOES IT WORK?
- Neuroeducation: The emotions that action video games arouse make the brain store information more effectively.
- Commitment: The game has been created by a former language teacher who has dedicated more than 3 years of hard work to create something super attractive for children.
- Pedagogical: We start from a type of video game that we know interests and motivates children from 5 to 12 years old, isolates the difficulty, favors repetition, learns by exploration, autonomy, independence and freedom of choice (it does not need the adult to learn, that raises his self-esteem and motivates him).
- Language immersion and discovery learning: It is the natural way to learn. Virtual reality also ensures that there are no distractions during the game.
- Special Needs: It is also working with children with learning difficulties like dyslexia or hearing problems.

If the button does not work or gives problems, we must check several possible problems until we find the solution.
Smartphone well placed
The first thing to check is that you have placed your smartphone properly inside your Heromask. To do this, make sure that the smartphone is centred with the screen facing the lens and leaving behind the smartphone the fastening tab as shown in the following video.
Button check
If this has not solved the problem and the button still does not work, check that the rubber touch is correctly installed/placed inside the headset.
If it is not installed, there should be a spare in your Heromask pack. The next step is to install this spare as shown in the video below.
Screen protector
If none of the above steps solved the problem, it is possible that you have installed a screen protector that is too thick and does not allow the button to act properly. If this is the case, the best thing to do would be to try with another device that does not have a screen protector installed, so that if it works on the device without the screen protector, we will have found the problem. If this was the problem you can remove your screen protector so that the button can act and play normally on your smartphone.
Contact us

We recommend that its use is not for continuous periods of more than 20 – 30 minutes per hour, that is, for every 30 minutes of play, we recommend another 30 minutes of rest.
Heromask video games are designed to be short games that invite you to take these breaks. But that may not be the case with other virtual reality games and videos. We recommend that it be used responsibly.
Although Heromask was developed having children between 5 and 12 years old in mind, it does not mean that it cannot be used by people outside this age range, although we do not recommend its use for children under 3 years of age as prolonged exposure to screens could be harmful at such early ages.
From 3 years old onwards its use should not pose any problems, but always using it responsibly.
As it is a video game that relates visual and auditory stimuli, Heromask can be a learning option even for adults who want to get started in a foreign language that is new to them. You can learn vocabulary from various areas/topics in the language you are looking to start, although it should always be used as a reinforcement or an extra tool and not as a sole resource when learning a new language.
Our methods are based on "trial and error", a very primitive but effective learning mechanism: as you give an answer, you will know if it is correct or not and you will be able to respond to said stimulus by correcting it, thus causing learning by repetition.
We sought the expertise of a professional in the field to get their thoughts on Heromask in terms of its educational process. After testing it with several children, here's what they had to say:
"The game can be beneficial for enhancing visual attention processes, as well as eye movements, which are closely related to reading processes. Visual functionality is an area that neuropsychology highly values for development. The eye performs many movements, some of which are crucial for effective reading. It is estimated that 80% of reading difficulties may be linked to visual functionality issues, highlighting the importance of deliberate training in eye movements.
In the game, various eye movements occur, such as fixation movements that allow focusing on a specific point; saccadic movements, which are small left-to-right jumps the eye makes, particularly during reading; regression movements, typically right-to-left jumps in reading that help us re-examine complex words or those not processed properly, either due to unfamiliarity or complexity; and tracking movements, which involve following a moving object. All these processes also require attention.
Another positive aspect of the game is that it provides immediate feedback. Players always know if they've made a mistake, enabling them to improve in subsequent actions by paying more attention.
Since the game relies solely on auditory input without written text support, it demands more in terms of auditory attention and discrimination. This enhances auditory functionality, which is also essential in learning a second language."
