VR Training & Courses

Sectors using VR technology for training are military training (army, navy, and airforce), pilot training, medical training, corporate training, and many more. The military is adopting VR for training purposes from a long time ago, much earlier than commercial markets. VR training gives an advantage in training soldiers for combat situations or other dangerous settings, it can prepare a soldier in a safe virtual environment- without the risk of serious injuries or death. Pete Morrison, an executive at Bohemia Interactive Simulations, a company that helped develop the STE, explained “This would enable the Army to conduct virtual training and complex simulations anywhere on a virtual representation of the Earth.” According to Morrison, the goal of the VR technology in Virtual Reality military training is to simulate in preparing soldiers for the area’s terrain where they might battle someday.

Virtual Reality is increasingly being used in medical training to train medical students, new surgeons, and refresh the skills of the current medical professionals. Medical students are already taking a more hands-on approach to learning and understanding the human body and its systems, within the VR environment. They can also perform operations that can afford to make mistakes and learn from it through Virtual Reality medical training where there is no risk. Like learning any new skill, practices are critical to perfection. Doctors or surgeons can practice difficult surgeries they might not have performed before, with the help of VR setup by interacting with virtual patients, even if they make mistakes it doesn’t mean the difference between life and death like it is in their real work. Most importantly, they can practice in these virtual environments as often as needed to feel prepared and confident.

A number of companies including Walmart, AST, Porsche, Boeing, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and many more are exploring VR as a supplementary tool for corporate training. VR corporate training is focused on developing specific skills and gaining experience. Through Virtual Reality corporate training employees can learn, train, develop, explore, and make mistakes without any cost. It is a great way to prepare the employee for a specific situation to make the employee more familiar with it before they can try it out in real life. It also helps in developing an employee’s skill, getting rid of all the risks that come with mere inexperience.
