March 15, 2020The Value of Strategic Partners in the Development of Virtual Reality Training
Breean: Hello, this Breean, and this is David with 360 Immersive. We love for you to join us when you wanna learn more about how we’re using virtual reality to transform the way that we train and educate people. So, today, we wanna talk a little bit about our company vision, mission, and values, and how that ties into the strategic partnerships that we would like to create with other companies and other organizations that also value human life, and our quality of life being improved, and people being able to more safely do the things that they do every day. So, David what are we looking for in strategic partners?
David: Well, we have an opportunity because this industry is relatively new to kind of pick the best partner. And likewise, the organizations that we work with can choose us, or choose somebody else that best fits their needs. But if I were to look at a laundry list of partners that we look for, it’s people that make an impact, organizations that make an impact, companies that make an impact. For instance, LMS providers, safety management providers, so they provide the mechanism, the platform for companies to train and educate, so they can impact a lot of people. And if they had the ability to ingest VR or AR training content within their system, we could impact so many more people!
Breean: Millions of lives.
David: That’s right. Versus us going out to each individual company and presenting this new technology, it can actually – it’s a force multiplier.
Breean: Absolutely; I like that word.
David: So, LMS, safety management companies. But then, there’s also the companies that specialize in creating content, some of it is video-based, some of it is online based, those people when you look at taking traditional training content—and it could be soft skills, it could be compliance, unfortunately, active shooter is a big thing right now—and to be able to take that and ingest as part of their curriculum VR or AR content, that’s a big deal.
Breean: And being able to enhance that, to bring that up to that level of engagement and experience that makes people retain, and learn, and do better.
David: And then, corporate or industrial partners, companies that are large enough to recognize the value of the technology, they have safety managers, L&D managers, HR folks that understand it, and we work directly with those people too; generally, we create a pilot project.
Breean: Because they’re prioritizing safety.
David: That’s right. And as we go through that pilot project standpoint, then we move on to analysis, how well did it do, and then we look for full deployment if they really find that it does enhance, does increase –
Breean: Those actionable metrics.
David: Exactly that. And then, we do a lot of work with universities and trade schools, schools that specialize in specific topics that can help – that VR can actually help. So, when we’re looking at a number of these different categories, we can range from LMS organizations, content developers, but the one common key that we look for is: they have that mission and that vision to reduce injuries and fatalities, to save lives. In fact, if you look at our logo, what’s the one thing you see about it? We’re proud of the fact that we build apps and platforms that save people’s lives, that can actually help.
Breean: And that’s who we wanna partner with, is people that share that same mission, vision, and values.
David: That’s right.
