Discover Why VR & AR Is Becoming The Next Generation Of eLearning

AR and VR enable technical training with any number of repetitions. In addition – once workers feel safe to take their first real-world assignment – they can use AR to be guided by the same familiar learning content during an on-the-job training - reducing travel costs and equipment downtime.

Real products are often too big or to heavy to operate outside special environments like a factory. VR, AR and  360° photos or videos easily allow for low-cost product trainings at any time in any location by showing your products interactively in a virtual or a real-life environment.

For example, handling a warranty claim in a store is impossible to replicate continuously for an effective learning result. Virtual characters can be arranged as an interactive experience with the necessary repetitions and constant quality at low cost compared to regular outsourced classroom training.

Virtual training allows for remote team trainings without travelling. Represented by avatars, groups come together over the internet in VR or AR. As an added value, acting through a virtual character can lead to higher participation of “shy” learners who could be more reluctant to actively participate in a presence training.

Studies have shown that VR has unique abilities to make people better understand such topics (e.g. learners have been put into a “bullying” situation where they could experience the harasser’s and the victim’s view first-hand). VR can provide a highly believable environment in which learners feel safe.
