3. Virtual Reality And Augmented Reality (VR/AR)
We are on the precipice of the new meta world. On that note, VR and AR are going to smash the physical world and replace it with a 3D/immersive real-life interactive environment where users can interact with objects and people from around the globe in their own houses.
AR/VR technology usage surged in 2021, with data visualization and manipulation in 3D, and teleportation among the top uses. The promise of AR and VR is not limited to the entertainment business; it is altering a variety of other industries like the military, sports medicine, and education. Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, and Microsoft are four of the most active businesses in the field of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. Regarding L&D departments, the possible applications may include:
- Trainee engagement
Could it be more intriguing when you can apply your theories into practice right away after the lessons? The vision resembles the Ready Player One excitement that VR/AR can put in next-level interaction, and involvement can only lead to better engagement which, in turn, should lead to greater effectiveness and positive outcomes. - Quality efficiency
Using VR/AR as an aid, trainers can train more efficiently and trainees can learn quicker. A highly efficient training environment for all parties involved saves both time and money. - Risk reduction
Whether it’s performing surgery, experimenting with the new launch of a car’s latest version, or learning to use a new piece of software, VR/AR reduces the risk of mistakes or oversights because it provides a „real world“ training environment with the undo function that lowers the risk to the least damage.
