IN THIS TALK How is VR being used for training? Why has VR training become a driving force?
CURRENT AND POTENTIAL USES BP, Exxon, KFC, UPS, Walmart, Verizon, Jet Blue are using VR for training Nuclear Power Training Fiber Optic Engineering Medical Device Training
CURRENT AND POTENTIAL USES Specialized Medical Procedures First Responders Urban Warfare Forensics Flight Deck Mechanics/Equipment Maintenance MOST INDUSTRIES CAN BE SERVED WITH VR FOR TRAINING
360 Panoramic vs. 3d vr 360 Panoramic Flat Unnatural 3D VR Has depth Familiar REAL-WORLD SKILLS COME FROM REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCES
ADOPTION OF TECH TOOLS Typical Technology Tools Often takes years to master Simple handoff generally not possible
ADOPTION OF TECH TOOLS Virtual Reality Instruction on real-world skills Scenes are real-world scenes Interactions are real-world interactions INTUITIVE – NEGLIGIBLE LEARNING CURVE
SOCIAL DYNAMICS/SHARED GROUP EXPERIENCES Real-time collaboration Dynamic Interaction Like a conference call THIS IS NOT A NEW SOCIAL DYNAMIC
FORCED PRESENCE/REMOTE REALITY Forced Presence – an experience that does not allow you to be distracted Remote Reality – an experience in VR that takes you to the site REMOVING DISTRACTIONS AND ENSURING YOU ARE FULLY PRESENT
CUSTOMIZED EXPERIENCES Learner-centered instructional environment Use and interact with what is most useful Focused on how the individual learner learns best BETTER THAN A LIVE EXPERIENCE
DIFFERENTIATED CURRICULUM Teaching learners at a variety of different levels Expert trainers already do this No new training methodologies have to be learned REACHING LEARNERS WHERE THEY ARE AT
WHY LATENCY MATTERS Broadcast delay is 10 seconds or more This delay prevents real-time interaction DYNAMIC INTERACTION REQUIRES REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION
SUMMARY Train anyone, anywhere 3D VR becomes REAL Easy to learn to use Social dynamics unchanged Forced Presence Customizable environments Reach people where they are Real-time interactivity
