What Are Immersive Training Solutions?

Immersive training solutions are corporate training solutions that use advanced technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and 360-degree videos to build interactive simulations of real work situations.

They’re highly interactive and realistic—more than instructor-led training or eLearning courses—which is why they’re so engaging. They also help companies retain staff, and they’re scalable, which makes them cost-effective for global teams or when businesses expand globally.

Interactive simulations allow learners to act out different work scenarios. They mimic real chats with real clients, partners, and coworkers to improve communication skills and many other types of skills, some of them highly specialized and complex.

Immersive environments are safe, as employees practice real-world situations without risking the real consequences of making mistakes, such as harming customer relationships or losing deals.

Key Benefits of Immersive Training Solutions

Learner Engagement

Immersive environments are highly interactive and wrap learners in them, which reduces distractions, raises attention levels, and engages employees in the learning experience.

Knowledge Retention

For being interactive and resembling the real world, immersive training improves knowledge retention rates by 15%.

Cost-Effectiveness

Immersive training solutions are available online and automated, which allows training numerous staff members simultaneously, anytime, anywhere.

Safety

Immersive learning environments are risk-free and perfect for practicing dangerous tasks and exploring difficult situations without harming the business or jeopardizing workplace relationships and coworkers’ safety.

Applications of Immersive Training

Onboarding

Realistic 3D environments are highly engaging for familiarizing new hires not only with company-wide tools, policies, and procedures, but also with job-specific tools, guidelines, methods, and workflows.

Technical and Safety Training

Interactive simulations are perfect for practicing dangerous tasks in manufacturing, construction, or defense. But they’re also particularly effective for learning to fly aircraft or practicing medical procedures. Doctors, nurses, and student clinicians use immersive training solutions to absorb medical knowledge without putting real patients at risk.

Sales Enablement

VR roleplay lets sales reps practice their pitch skills in simulated dialogues. That’s a safe way to learn to sell products—in a controlled setting that only changes the conversation flow whenever the learner answers wrong.

Why Choose ELM Learning?

Immersive training solutions rely on immersive technology, such as VR headsets or VR glasses, which your employees wear during training. Our creatives love to create avatars that match your culture and your employees’ style. Our design team creates virtual worlds in which your teams will immerse themselves while growing their knowledge.

For AR development, we use image recognition and, for instance, your employees’ smartphone cameras. Together, image recognition and cameras scan and recognize what your employees point at. Then, your immersive training solution displays certain information on your employees’ smartphone screens, such as definitions or animations.

Contemporary Workforce Development with Utmost Interactivity

Immersive training solutions raise the bar for interactivity and engagement in corporate education—without falling short of effectiveness. They’re also safe, scalable yet cost-effective, and retain staff.

FAQs

Virtual reality:
- A virtual store in which newly-hired storekeepers would deal with angry customers
- A virtual trip to the inside of a factory to learn the process of manufacturing a product
- A virtual city tour to teach tour guides everything about it without having to take them to the actual places
Augmented reality:

Employees would install an augmented reality app on their smartphones. Then, they would point their smartphones’ cameras to the objects mentioned below to obtain information about them, such as:
- Learning to operate a piece of equipment
- Fixing a complex system like a broken car or computer
- Training tour guides to speak about pieces of art exhibited at a museum
- Teaching retail workers to restock shelves by walking around a real store.
The first ingredient to immersive learning is the learning environment. That’s an immersive environment that surrounds learners with information. It works by promoting a highly interactive learning experience, which in turn maximizes information retention.

In the case of virtual reality, the environment is virtual. There’s an opportunity for role-playing in that setting, and the learner gets all the necessary information while in it.

With augmented reality, the environment isn’t virtual. An augmented reality training experience surrounds the learner with information while they’re in a real context.
When the price of making a mistake while learning could cause a huge problem.

Take the example of learning to operate in a specific military setting or performing a surgery. The cost of learners failing during training could cost lives. Virtual reality technology provides a safe environment to learn complex procedures at no risk to real people.

In a VR setting, it’s okay to experiment with alternatives and make mistakes while figuring out that some don’t work. Plus, learners get a view of the environment that would be difficult to demonstrate with video or images only. For instance, it’s much easier to teach firefighters to act in emergencies with virtual reality technology. At the end of the day, they build confidence that they can handle those situations in the real world.

Gamified Onboarding Experience

How do you make a new work environment feel like home on day one? A large pet retailer wanted to increase confidence in new associates so they felt comfortable in their stores. Our eLearning design made first-day training a more interactive process with plenty of in-the-moment feedback to better prepare employees to make recommendations and guide customers through the store.
