Faster and more effective results with the VR Training Framework

1000 realities studio is a team of Virtual Reality specialists who create ground-breaking immersive VR experiences for any industry. Whether off-the-shelf or customized, these fully immersive trainings are based on our Training Framework.

Training Framework is a set of functionalities and best-practice solutions for innovative trainings in VR that aim to make the virtual operations for every trainee easy and user friendly

In essence, it is a bundle of ready-to-apply functionalities that increase the the VR application UX, saves time for developers and reduces the cost of repeated testing.

 

Three aspects of the VR Training Framework

 

The first aspect of the Training Framework is movement in VR. We know how to effectively transfer real-world operations into our training simulations. For example, to unscrew a small screw in virtual reality would be challenging and impossible for less proficient VR users. That’s why we invest a great deal of time testing movements, such as tool use or use of ladders in an industrial contexts: We strive to guarantee the best training experience for both advanced and novice VR users alike.

 

Secondly, our Training Framework emphasizes creating high-end VR training experiences that generate an authentic reproduction of specific equipment in a realistic work environment. High-fidelity, both physical and psychological are crucial ingredients when we develop our trainings in VR. The visual aspects, details and accuracy in depicting real world objects is crucial.  For example, trainees can experience document visualizations and signing, training labels, use of voice guidance; these elements have already been fully tested, designed, and are ready to be implemented into new projects.

Thirdly, following each training a learner can receive feedback to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. Learners can complete the same training lift tasks more than once. What’s more, each training contains a tutorial; we want to make sure that trainings are maximally user-friendly for people who do not have much digital experience, and accessible for people of all ages.

Finally, we are able to eliminate simulation sickness. We use special methods of movement and transportation that our specialists at 1000 realities studio have both designed and developed. Particularly in regard to repetitive training, this solution allows for any trainee to have both access to and achieve learning success when experiencing our Industrial VR trainings.

 

Example 1: Virtual operations

 

Have you tried to unscrew a small screw in VR? It’s challenging and requires practice! That’s why we spend tons of time testing these movements—we strive to guarantee the best training experience. Our framework is a set of functionalities and best-practice solutions for innovative trainings in VR that aim to make the virtual operations for every trainee easy and user-friendly. Our VR trainings present the information you want to teach in a structured and controlled way, and they present methods that can be used to assess trainee performance.


 

 

Example 2: Real-life issues

 

Virtual Reality trainings created by 1000 Realities Studio are based on real-life issues, EHS best practices and actual workplaces. To give you an example, this video highlights aspects of a simulation that lets the trainee practice the simple, sensible precautions they must take to keep safe when using a stepladder in the workplace.

Each trainee must get up and down a ladder in VR. They see an animation of two hands grabbing the ladder; by pressing the top or bottom of the controller touchpad, the trainee can ascend or descend the ladder. The learner must remember the three points of contact at the working position, and he/she has the freedom to practice work at height in a realistic workplace without worrying about damaging equipment or getting hurt. This high-quality VR training experience was created for Veolia in Poland.


 

Example 3: Learn by practice

 

EHS rules are an important piece in our multi-industry VR trainings. Safety and inspection details matter, particularly in work environments where an employee is required to use a headlamp. This short video is not only is it an excellent example of how our VR trainings can be realistic and high-quality, but it also demonstrates how a trainee can learn and practice important safety behaviors in a simulated environment.

The video allows you to see how inspection with a headlamp is a skill that needs to be learned. In the simulation, the learner can practice how to can for dangerous problems and safety hazards quickly and efficiently. After the training, the learner can get an instant assessment to see how they performed.


 

Example 4: Authenticity matters

 

This video showcases more authentic details taken from a Virtual Reality training that was created by 1000 realities studio for Veolia in Poland.

The flow of water in VR is tough to create. However, we know that engagement is critical to training outcomes. To make sure we engage each trainee, we created this VR training experience where the visual authenticity and sound of flowing tap water is added to the training environment. Watch how each movement of the brush by the trainee makes the filter cleaner.

The visual aspects, details and accuracy in depicting real world objects is essential to our immersive training simulations. This short video is an excellent example of the high-quality VR training experiences that we can develop.
