10:00 AM Warp Industries Transforming Employee Training & Onboarding through VR Scenarios, 360 Video and Mobile Phone-Based Headsets

Research has shown that learning with VR has an increase of 30% in remembering procedures. By using VR, you are truly somewhere else. You are immersively trained without being distracted. This presentation will show you the next step in simulation. After attending you know how you can train real world scenarios by using 360˚ video technology by only using a smartphone and VR goggles. By adding gamification this form of training becomes highly compelling and engaging.
 
This session will:

  • Train real world scenarios by using interactive 360 movie technology
  • Flexible training at scale: use (employees' own) mobile phones
  • Engagement through real life scenarios and gamification
