Empiric Education is a StarCitizen:human education software manufacturer and a subsidiary of microTech. Its principal product is the Equivalency software.<ref name="pf17941">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

History

Before its acquisition, Empiric Education was a major producer of education software. StarCitizen:Magnus Tobin insisted on purchasing the company, and after the sale it became one of microTech's most important acquisitions. Tobin then revealed an upgrade that significantly streamlined the code of the company's main product, Equivalency, and enhanced its security, having developed it in secret since modifying his own Equivalency study software in his youth. Beyond the surface-level improvements, the code also included additional background software intended to securely manage every detail of a student's life in order to increase their productivity. His business partner, StarCitizen:Aleena Tressler, noticed that early adopters used these features well beyond studying and saw their wider potential. She encouraged Tobin to develop the software as a standalone product, which eventually evolved into the Glass software that runs on the StarCitizen:mobiGlas and compatible devices.<ref name="pf17941" />

 ==History==
-Empiric Education was already the mainstream education software producer. It was acquired by [[StarCitizen:Magnus Tobin]] after he had developed in secret an upgraded and streamlined code for Empiric Education's main product, Equivalency. Beyond the surface-level improvements, he had also included additional background software meant to securely manage every detail of a student’s life to increase their productivity. His business partner, [[StarCitizen:Aleena Tressler]] noticed that early adopters used these software features well beyond studying and saw the promise in it. She encouraged Magnus to develop it as standalone software, which would eventually evolve in the Glass software run in the [[StarCitizen:mobiGlas]] and compatible devices.<ref name="pf17941" />
