Virtual reality is not just a new way to experience games or multimedia content; it is a powerful tool used for professional training in many fields. This is not a technology of the future—many companies are already applying it today with excellent results. In today’s post, we’ll explain how to implement virtual reality in your training processes and the benefits it offers.

This training solution complements traditional learning by being executed in a simulated and occasionally immersive environment. It captures the user’s attention and engagement, strengthening the acquisition of practical knowledge for comprehensive training. Additionally, it ensures complete safety for workers and allows the simulation of situations that would be highly risky in real life.

How to Apply It to Your Company’s Training Processes?

STEP 1:
To implement a simulator within your organization, your company needs to select a specialist in the subject to be simulated. This ensures the creation of an environment and learning experience as close as possible to the reality of your company.

STEP 2:
With the help of the specialist, we can define the learning objectives and recreate the work process to be simulated. If a specialist is not available to define the scope of the simulator and provide input during development, it will not be possible to meet expectations, and the simulated process will not be effective when implemented.

STEP 3:
Once the learning objective, scope, and work process to be simulated are defined, the information is transferred to a storyboard (script), where the experience is designed prior to your validation.

STEP 4:
After the storyboard is finalized, the product development begins using agile methodologies, where the client plays a key role in building the experience.

STEP 5:
Once the simulator development is complete, the testing phase begins. Holos integrates the specialist within your organization, who will oversee conducting the initial tests of the simulator in your company. During this process, improvement opportunities may arise, which the Holos team will address and implement in new versions of the simulator.

Benefits:

• Higher Retention: Virtual reality allows employees to retain between 75% and 90% of the information.
• Cost Reduction: Virtual simulation helps reduce expenses related to infrastructure, materials, time, and personnel required for real-life simulations. Additionally, virtual training can be conducted anytime and anywhere.
• Safety: It enables the simulation of dangerous or extreme situations without risks, helping complex industries like mining or construction prevent accidents and learn procedures safely.
