In the rapidly changing world that we live in, organizations are exploring how adopting cutting-edge technologies for employee training can help them achieve their goals. All businesses train their employees, and most spend significant time and resources doing so. It is crucial to understand that corporate training programs are only as good as their ability to help your employees retain information and master relevant skills. It is well-known that humans learn best by 'doing' rather than 'reading.' Thankfully, virtual reality (VR) technology is emerging as a tool to revolutionize corporate training. Immersive virtual reality simulations offer several advantages to learners and organizations alike. According to a report , the global virtual reality market size is expected to reach $87.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 15% from 2022-2030. The emerging demand for VR-based training across diverse industries is believed to be a driving factor of the market growth. ...

In the 19th century, the world was wrought with scarlet fever, smallpox, and typhus. In the 20th century, it was the bubonic plague. The 21st century seems to be following a similar pattern with the outbreak of the coronavirus, because where humans are involved, disease is sure to abound. 2020 was a year of many highs and lows for the modern history books. There were many similarities between the Covid 19 pandemic, and the ones faced in the past. The world over ground to a halt. Businesses closed because employees couldn't work. With the onset of the pandemic, there were record high anxiety issues and record low morale. But there are a few key differences between the pandemics of the past and the one we face in the last few years. One difference between now and then is accurate knowledge of how to stop the spread of germs. Another is how to stay connected and thrive in a world that has largely shut down. XR technology has played a big part in making pandemic-proof workspaces a real...

Extended Reality or XR is a big buzz topic in the technology industry.

XR Technology- The Basics XR technology is used to describe extended reality, or the combination of real and virtual environments by computer technology and wearables. Extended reality is a blanket term that envelops a few more specific types of technology within the concept, of which there are three: augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality...

It seems that recently construction crews are working at breakneck speeds to complete projects. Buildings are being renovated or built from the ground up almost overnight. It's a far cry different from what it used to be where crews would labor over several years to complete one project. They, and the general public, have virtual reality to thank for that. Virtual reality has become one of the main focuses of the tech industry. In making it a primary job source for many people the technology has been used to improve completion times and cost. The construction industry is taking advantage of the benefits, and using it to make their jobs safer, easier, and all around better for the workers, owners, and designers. Here are some benefits of using virtual reality in construction. 6 Benefits of Virtual Reality in Construction Training- Virtual reality is aiming to not only make the job itself safer but the training process safer as well. Virtual reality is fully immersive, meaning that w...

Technology changes the world. More specifically, it changes how the world operates and evolves. Like moving from taking days to plow a field with a horse and plow to turn the soil to using massive tractors that can get the job done in a few hours. Or using a digital clock wired into a set of augmented glasses instead of a sundial to measure the length of a shadow. Technology serves to make the world a better, more accessible place to live in. With the advent of extended reality or XR technology, a rapid change was made in how people saw the world around them and how they moved in it. More recently, companies are realizing the benefits of using augmented reality to train their employees with better results, not just initially but well into their employment. AR is a technology that uses graphic images to enhance or supplement the world around us. It has the unique ability to find its way into the most unlikely of places. With unique headsets designed for hands-free training or on a smart...

In the modern world, technologies are advancing at a rapid pace. For companies to stay competitive in the market, organizations need to keep up with tech advancements. To achieve this, companies should stay informed on these technologies and ensure that their employees are well trained. Workforce training has become a priority for many businesses. However, conventional training methods have proven difficult due to several factors such as travel, safety concerns, complex training scenarios, etc. That is why more and more companies are incorporating virtual reality (VR) technology into their training programs. A report predicts that virtual reality in the training market will reach $601.85 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 13.7%. It clearly indicates that more people are warming up to the idea of using VR in training. VR technology has the potential to revolutionize corporate training and can help companies gain a competitive advantage. Do you want to learn more ab...

Virtual reality training is the newest form of onboarding employees and introducing them to critical concepts within a business. But it's difficult to know if VRT is a good fit for your company. Studies show that virtual reality is proven to speed up the training process and help employees retain information for longer periods of time. Not only that, but it can also give employees the confidence to complete tasks as if they had been doing it for years instead of just days. Along with the practical application time, the benefits of virtual reality training are many, but even with all of them laid out in a row most business owners are hesitant to spend the initial cost that it takes to get VRT up and running for their organization. Which is reasonable. It can be pretty steep. The Cost of Virtual Reality Training  Virtual reality can accommodate various types of corporate training, including scenario-based learning, onboarding, technical skills, and simulations. With this wide variety...
