More and more companies are making use of virtual training with VR as a training model for your employees, but what is the reason for this boom?
Good training and training is essential when we want to increase the work efficiency of our employees, and apply continuous improvement. In this regard, the virtual reality makes it easier for companies to carry out training in various scenarios effectively and allowing employees to face different business situations without taking associated risks and learning to react or work under certain circumstances.
A very effective way to do training is to offer a Experiential learning, which allows people to create knowledge through their own experience, prioritizing practice over theory. Its greatest advantage is that it allows the body to internalize many of the steps, thus generating a procedural memory.
However, this type of learning can generate some disadvantages depending on the activities being carried out, resulting in some cases very risky and costly, especially for high-risk jobs such as in the electrical sector, construction, security, etc., where employees can be seriously affected.
In this way, the technology once again it offers us tools for reduce risks and costs, while providing us with a large number of benefits. And this is possible thanks to the virtual reality (VR), a solution that provides innovative ways to approach training and training.
With the virtual trainings They can be created 3D environments, specially designed to meet the training needs of each company or industry. They allow users to explore different environments and carry out activities in the first person, using interactive technologies to simulate very real situations and movements, which help to provide excellent preparation to apply this knowledge from virtual practice to real practice, without major difference.
And this is how technology allows us once again to ensure that they offer better experiential learning, while protecting the physical health of employees and saving on production costs. All this thanks to the carrying out of the exercises in virtual trainings.
The benefits brought by technologies of virtual and augmented reality they are innumerable. For this reason, we present to you some of the factors that make virtual trainings a great opportunity to improve the training of work teams:
Los virtual trainings they have the advantage that they allow experimenting in situations quite similar to reality and with their respective consequences, with the great benefit of being able to “undo and go back” to apply corrective measures and face situations in different ways until the most appropriate one is found.
Thus, the virtual reality It becomes an excellent tool that can be used to change perspectives in each situation, with minimal risk, since errors have no real impact and, in this way, they can be faced without fear to find solutions and avoid their occurrence in real life.
Although the theoretical plane is still essential in learning and provides tools on which to rely, the practical part is just as or more important, since it is the one that most directly affects the retention of information. This is how through virtual training, greater information retention can be achieved.
One of the main benefits of virtuality is that it does not require physical presence for its use. With virtual training, the limits are reduced by allowing them to be carried out remotely, saving money and time on transfers.
The application of virtual trainings helps to reduce infrastructure, material, time and personnel costs required by real training. This represents cost savings, both for the company and for the personnel who must travel to the training site.
With the virtual reality different variables or situations can be programmed within the same scenario so that training is personalized according to the needs of each worker, which also means a reduction in costs and time, since it does not have to adapt spaces in real life for each situation.
There are countless benefits of virtual reality in training and training plans. It allows the development of new skills with minimal costs and risks, taking advantage of the advantages and functionalities of this technology, being a great opportunity to reinvent the training process, making it more innovative and even entertaining and attractive for employees.
