Learn by Doing
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) use technology to provide hands-on engagement and practice to learners. Further, it provides an experience and journey through an immersive environment that simulates environments, tools, and realistic job circumstances in a way that not only lets learners see it, but interact with it. This interaction generates emotional attachments and reactions in learners critical to forming memories and enhancing retention. AR and VR promote learning by doing and transfer knowledge through hands on practice.
3 Dimensional Immersion Transforms Complex Training
AR and VR equipment can be as small as a headset or as large as a lab and has price points that make it accessible to all. In virtual environments, learners interact with complex machines, functions, and procedures in three dimensions, transforming the way knowledge it communicated, and skills and decision making are practiced. This happens in a controlled environment that eliminates risks and safety issues.
Develop Critical Soft Skills
The realistic environments and immersive scenarios provided AR and VR facilitate development of soft skills. These environments can recreate the complexities of human interaction, helping learners build robust communication and decision-making skills. For people in customer facing, customer service, and sales roles, the ability to practice these skills and receive feedback in a safe, controlled environment is critical to both personal success and achieving the goals set out by the organization in these job roles.
