Learning Real-World Skills in Virtual Reality

From utilities companies to first responders, more industries are adopting rich VR training experiences

There is a growing plethora of Industry 4.0 use cases for Immersive Technologies, and companies like Microsoft have partnered with various developers to launch collaborative and remote assistance applications.

Tech like Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality leverage cognitive embodiment to reinforce learning, which works particularly well in scenarios such as medical training which involve the performance of both mental and physical tasks.

So it’s really not surprising that so many companies, from Homeland Security to KFC, are now jumping on the bandwagon and embracing various forms of virtual training experiences. Where Detroit-based start-up PIXO VR says they have an edge, however, is in providing what they term as “behavior-changing narratives” in AAA-game quality, and all ready to use in a complete end-to-end, supported package.
