The future of technology is poised to shift from 3-D movies to immersive games , ushering in a movement of personalized learning. Immersive gaming is technology that blurs the lines between the physical and digital world. Learning through gaming has the potential to engage, influence, and above all educate employees with benefits that surpass cost savings. It will be critical that businesses integrate immersive technology into their training processes.
What can immersive technologies offer your business?
• Lower Costs
The future of training is portable and immersive. Learning through gaming simulations can not only eliminate the cost of travel and printing materials, but it saves time by offering immersive training on platforms that can be used anywhere at anytime. No more travel costs, facility expenses or instructor fees. No more aligning student schedules and training in batches to save money, your trainees can literally learn right from their mobile device or tablet at home or on a rig.
• Real-time collaboration and retention
Learning by discovery is a concept that is critical to retention and reducing injury. Trainees are disconnected from real world experiences through textbooks and PowerPoint presentations. What is offered are real-time scalable immersive environments that simulate true-to-life scenarios. Trainees can practice on virtual equipment that is replicated in form and function, turning passive learners into active, engaged participants. The virtually created equipment looks and acts like the real thing without the consequences of staff injury or damage to expensive machinery. Not only is this type of training immersive, but it can be scalable and updated immediately when new regulations are enacted.
The importance of immersive technologies to businesses is tangible and can transform the relationship between education and technology . We understand the significance of offering better quality, cost effective training solutions and it is our belief that virtual worlds linked to real world data can bridge the gap.
