How to improve workplace safety with virtual reality
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin
Our Sales and Marketing Director, Dave Black mentions this quote in this VR training webinar and we think it’s the perfect statement that reflects virtual reality training. Studies show us time and time again that active learning methods are the most effective. But when you’re a big, global organization is there a way to actually give every employee the same high-quality, hands-on learning? We believe that is entirely possible with VR training.
Putting on a virtual reality headset and stepping into the virtual version of your workplace environment allows you to learn by doing, but without the risk and cost factors. But exactly why is vr training so effective? In virtual reality, you enter an entirely immersive experience that enhances concentration and muscle memory learning. Your senses are fully dedicated to the learning environment – you are fully attentive, fully aware and fully immersed in that experience. So when you do things repeatedly again and again, it allows you to build up that muscle memory so that when it comes to putting your knowledge into practice, you’re already familiar and prepared for the situation.
