If we look on the top search terms on Google regarding Virtual Reality (VR), people still don't really know what it is - they're asking, "What is it?"
Simply put, VR is the ability to put somebody in a circumstance that actively feels like they are in a real scenario.
Two great things about VR training are:
1) Effectiveness
2) Engagement
In general, the best way to train someone is to safely immerse them into a scenario where they can practice, and safely experience consequences of their mistakes. They are right there where the action happens; they are doing it; they are experiencing consequences instantly. Training becomes a whole-body experience, rather than just cramming for a test to check a box. Virtual Reality is the best technology for repeatably simulating real-life immersion, and approaches the same effectiveness, but safely.
Imagine having your people look forward to their next safety training. Is this even possible? Yes, it is, with VR. Video games are fun, and VR enhances this by making it more immersive. Consequently, people automatically associate VR with fun. The same people also associate classroom lectures, PowerPoint presentations, and worn-out videos, with boredom, anxiety, and pain. By incorporating VR into your training, you harness forces already working in people's lives to move them from a "have to" mindset to a "want to" mentality.
