Well first of all - NASA used it in building the International Space Station - so that's
some credibility right there.
Secondly, it is not as expensive as you think, nor out of the reach of small and medium-
sized businesses. It costs much less than bringing your team in for a meeting and is
much more effective than traditional training methodologies.
It provides a safe, secure environment for training where mistakes can be made without
damage to expensive equipment or worse - personal injury.
VR training is effective for teaching complex concepts, enabling learners to experience
the consequences of their decisions in a safe environment with instant feedback.
It can also be used to simulate and train sales scenarios, conflict resolution, leadership
skills, or cross-cultural situations as well as to increase safety awareness and
compliance.
Think of training someone to handle extremely dangerous chemicals in a factory or
plant. They get to "learn by doing" and develop skills through a safe, immersive experience - reducing the number of possible accidents on the job.
Here are some of the advantages of VR training you may not have thought of:
Learning is highly interactive, multisensory, engaging and fun!
Totally immersive - no distractions from the training scenario.
Training can be done remotely on the headset, saving time and money with WiFi - no laptop / desktop required.
There is a 7 time increase in retention rates of skills (2017- National Training
Laboratory) through immersive VR learning compared to traditional methods of
learning.
You can provide training for realistic simulations in a risk-free manner that can
adjust difficulty levels based on user performance, so they learn at their own
pace, which is more effective.
Custom performance metrics and KPI's to measure user performance for instant
feedback.
Repeatable and scalable.
Training is digital - it can be easily upgraded to the latest industry standards.
Many of today’s industry leaders such as Siemens, Toyota, Walmart, and Suncor have
saved millions of dollars by using Virtual Reality training while increasing employee
safety, satisfaction, and retention.
