Virtual reality training is revolutionizing traditional corporate training. It offers a immersive, realistic learning experience which allows employees to train more effectively and efficiently.

Many companies have begun to use this technology to train their staff in a variety of areas, including safety, customer service and technical training.

However, not all virtual reality training approaches are created equal. As a pioneer in corporate VR training, our approach is innovative, offering a high-quality experience. In this article, we'll look at why our VR learning modules are unique.

Contrary to its name, virtual reality is not intended to replace "real reality". It enables you toimmerse people in realistic worldsis not just the ability to immerse users in new worlds, in new ways of thinking. conditions impossible to reproduce in real life From going to the bottom of an ocean, to outer space, to shrinking to microscopic size... the possibilities are endless!

What does this mean for training?

Virtual reality allows professionals to immerse themselves in a world of chosen constraints and conditions, enabling them to work like never before. every aspect of their work reaction times, process knowledge, spatial memory, data visualization, spatial projection, etc.

You have at your disposal a tool that allows you toget realistic reactionsIt doesn't matter what situation you're proposing. It's simply unbeatable by other means of training.

What are the limits of virtual reality for vocational training?

Virtual reality training approaches are often limited by :

  • The use of tools that are too complex for nomadic trainers to grasp, requiring a lot of time to adapt.
  • The use of these training tools for learners is often too technical, such as memorizing several buttons for interaction in the virtual world.
  • A very generalist approach to the use of VR in their solutions, content with the bare minimum.
  • Excessive technical requirements, which lead to additional costs. Like the purchase of a powerful computer or a very good Internet connection to function properly, etc.
  • The cost is often too high for what the solution actually delivers.

Since its creation, Irwino is committed to providing the best possible response to these issuesto provide ever more effective solutions affordable, comfortable, relevant and memorable.

For example, we have consistently chosen to use the most affordable technologies, even if this means spending more time creating our 3D environments for maintain optimum quality levels.

Another example: our Virtualized Fire Extinguishers are resolutely low-tech in their design, to avoid the problems associated with the use of connected objects.

How not to get sick in VR?

User comfort at the heart of the user experience

Virtual reality training is gradually making its mark on the professional training market.

Certain design rules must be observed to design high-quality immersive modules. If these rules are not followed, this can lead to cause motion sickness or seasickness (also known as motion sickness),which is a common side effect the use of VR.

This can lead to nausea, dizziness and headaches for some people. If trainees feel uncomfortable or ill when using virtual reality vocational training, it will can be extremely detrimental to their ability to learn.

Our Artistic Director, Adrien Perrugault, who is himself very sensitive to Motion Sickness, is fully committed to creating learning modules. compliant with design standards for VR solutions.

As a result, our professional virtual reality training courses are protected from this undesirable effect. Our team of developers reinforces this approach by designing fluid, immersive tools that ensure user comfort and experiences.
