Virtual Reality
Increase knowledge retention. Create memories in VR.
Reality is what you make it
Virtual Reality (VR) immerses users in virtual environments where they can explore and interact with their digital surroundings. Simulations built using VR allow users to manipulate objects or perform a series of actions to complete tasks in a risk-free, digital space. Processes involving heavy machinery, hazardous materials, or are located in areas that prove difficult and costly to access are prime candidates for VR training intervention. VR environments can be built to allow users to train in realistic yet safe environments where they can see, in real-time, the consequences of their actions.
We learn by doing.
According to the 70-20-10 learning framework, approximately 70% of what we learn and retain is acquired through experiential learning. The remaining 30% is split between peer-to-peer learning and traditional learning styles like courses and classes.
Benefits of Virtual Reality
Powered by Video Game Technology
Just like a video game, anything is possible. From replicating a retail store layout, visualizing a new facility that is yet to break ground, or simulating a fire in a building, the only limit to what we can create is your imagination.
Expect the Unexpected
Memorization does not always equate to understanding. To make sure users actually “get it”, we can introduce randomization to vary up experiences and ensure the users think critically to work through obstacles.
Level up your Workforce
Just like easy, normal, and hard modes of a video game, we can scale difficulty up or down depending on the user’s level of competence. Creating different levels of progression helps keep even seasoned workers engaged.
Trackable Results
Every press of a button, turn of a valve, or step the user completes can be tracked, timed, and measured when integrated with an analytics solution like HUBxr.
A Safer Way to Train
People learn more through failure than success. Teaching in the real-world includes real-world consequences. Let your employees fail in VR when the only thing affected is their score.
Save Costs & Practice Remote
Reduce expenses by bringing the training equipment to your workers. Learn to operate heavy machinery or practice a safety inspection of a facility remotely.
Explore a Virtual Environment
Virtual Reality environments are created using 3D models and gaming engines like Unity and Unreal Engine.
This allows for control over every detail in order to craft the experience exactly how you need it.
Our Work in Action
Texas A&M: Distracted Driving Simulator
To demonstrate the dangers of distracted driving without putting the driver at risk, we created a virtual neighborhood where the driver could respond to text messages using a VR controller. Using sensors in the headset, we track when the driver is distracted and serve up randomized obstacles for the driver to attempt to avoid. If the fail, on-screen results populate demonstrating how long the driver was distracted for throughout their experience.
Tank Separation Project
The tank separation project is designed to guide the user through the complex procedure of cleaning a series of tanks. Using handheld controllers in the Oculus Rift or Quest, the technician must open and close valves, press buttons, and reference their clipboard full of tasks in order to complete the procedure.
Safety Inspection
In this scenario, the user is required to perform an inspection on the smoke stack. In this experience, the user is required to select the proper PPE required to perform the job, and must complete the inspection procedure from verbal and written guidance.
