Virtual Reality Is Gaining Traction as a Preferred Training Tool
Training is a crucial part of any job, especially if it involves anything risky, precise, or dangerous. However the gap between a trainee’s education and their first ‘real world’ experience is still a friction point for any organization. That’s why many companies across a variety of industries are incorporating virtual reality (VR) into their employee training programs. This technology allows trainees to gain realistic, hands-on experience in an immersive 3D simulation that prepares them for the real thing.
