The recent advancements in hardware and software have turned virtual reality training systems from an innovative idea into an essential part of organisations’ digital transformation strategy. With training solutions producing results of up to a 40% increase in productivity and a 75% increase in retention rates, it is easy to understand why companies are adopting this immersive technology.
We briefly discuss 5 industries that are benefitting from the adoption of virtual reality training solutions. For a more detailed breakdown of how your company can benefit from incorporating a virtual reality training solution, contact bizAR Reality today.
1. VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING FOR UTILITIES, OIL AND ENERGY
From emergency gas leak response to high-voltage substation maintenance, virtual reality training systems allow Utility and Energy companies to create a safe and controlled environment for trainees to perform tasks and procedures without the risk of injury or death. Mistakes made in the virtual reality training systems can be used as learning opportunities to prevent accidents and fatalities from occurring onsite.
By allowing trainees to experience actual working conditions and the consequences of failure, VR training systems provide trainees with a better understanding of their job tasks and the associated risks.
2. VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING FOR MILITARY AND SECURITY
From weapons and procedure training to bomb defusal scenarios and hostage negotiation, virtual reality security and military training simulations provide trainees with real-life scenarios and consequences of the unpredictable life and death scenarios they can encounter on the job.
The scalability of VR training systems allows security and military companies to seamlessly switch between one training course to the next. This ability to seamlessly transport trainees into numerous situations and scenarios helps companies improve trainee’s overall effectiveness whilst reducing the training budget.
3. VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING FOR MINING
From hazard identification and accident reconstruction to marking a blast wall, virtual reality mine training solutions provide trainees with a safe and controlled environment to practise and perfect the skills necessary to perform their jobs safely and efficiently.
By immersing trainees in highly realistic scenarios and situations that may occur on the job, virtual reality training systems help trainees improve recall and retention and eliminate bad habits before they start.
4. VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING FOR MANUFACTURING
From machinery operation and maintenance to hazard identification and risk assessment, virtual reality training simulation allows trainees to familiarise themselves with your company’s manufacturing environment, which helps trainees perform their jobs safely and efficiently from day one.
By standardise the correct way to perform tasks and procedures, virtual reality training systems can help trainees improve safety, optimise performance and reduce errors and unexpected downtime.
5. VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING FOR HEALTHCARE
From diagnosing a virtual patient to performing open-heart surgery, virtual reality training simulations allows aspiring doctors to practise and perfect various procedures that are difficult to replicate and teach in a traditional classroom setting. Furthermore, virtual reality can transport trainees into the human body and help them better understand how certain parts of the body function.
VR training systems allow you to test trainees’ skills and decision-making abilities by immersing them in realistic scenarios and situations.
