you\u2019re a member of a corporate Board of Directors, you\u2019re probably aware that Virtual Reality (VR) has progressed well beyond the science fantasy of the Matrix movies. In the past two decades, VR has become a useful tool for many enterprises, especially in specialized training (e.g. ship building, pigging, car mechanic training) and digital design (e.g. for architects, automotive vehicle designers, etc.).<\/p><p>But you might have formed some mistaken ideas about how VR relates to your business. Some common misconceptions about VR include:<\/p><ul><li>\u201cI\u2019m sure Virtual Reality is a useful technology tool for some industries, but it wouldn\u2019t fit into my company or industry.

We\u2019ll examine how VR uses or is enhanced by other technologies, such as AI, virtual avatars, and digital twins. Also, we\u2019ll look at the technical requirements for VR, how cost effective it is, and how it can provide your company with a significant Return on Investment (ROI).

The user enters this world by putting on a headset, and uses hand controllers to manipulate virtual objects. The virtual world is often highly-detailed, and may be based on a real-life location that the user knows. In the virtual space, the user experiences the same thoughts, emotions, and reactions that they would in a real-life environment or situation.<\/li><li><strong>Augmented Reality (AR)<\/strong> \u2013 An associate technology of VR, where digital and 3D objects are laid over \u201creal world\u201d devices and environments. For example, an architect takes a photo of a high-rise construction site using a tablet. An AR program overlays an image of how the high-rise building will look when completed. The image appears on the tablet screen, and is laid over the architect\u2019s construction site photo.<\/li><li><strong>Mixed Reality (MR)<\/strong> \u2013 A mix of virtual and Augmented Reality \u2013 a blend of the real and virtual worlds. In Mixed Reality, you have the ability to manipulate digital objects that are laid over \u201creal world\u201d machines and environments. For example, at a high-rise construction site, the architect puts on a pair of MR glasses that lets them see an overlaid image \u2013 projected on the insides of the lenses \u2013 of how the building will look when finished. Using hand controllers, the architect can then add two floors to the \u201ccompleted building\u201d image, and get a virtual readout of the additional time and construction costs required to build those two extra floors.<\/li><li><strong>Extended Reality (XR)<\/strong> \u2013 An encompassing term for all types of virtual technology.

In the long run, it may be more cost-effective to send 300 of your employees a VR headset and hand controllers and have them log in to an online VR training course than it will be to fly all 300 employees to your national headquarters for in-person training. (The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for home-based remote training courses.)<\/span><\/li><li><b>Reduced employee replacement costs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; VR training increases retention of employees, and helps your company to reduce employee turnover. Better-trained employees are more likely to stay with a company that appreciates their services.

improve every aspect of a company\u2019s business, from the boardroom to the factory floor. Many companies are now using VR and AR technologies in their digital transformation initiatives, to improve and enhance the following areas:<\/p><p><em><strong>Employee Training<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>Virtual Reality is a completely immersive technology. When a trainee puts on a VR headset, they enter a virtual world that is so real, so tangible, that the user\u2019s mind perceives it as real. The trainee is focused on their task, free of distractions, and able to think through a situation that they might encounter in real life. Also, the trainee is emotionally engaged, and can understand how their actions and decisions will affect the situation\u2019s outcome, for better or worse.<br \/>The trainee can practice hands-on skills in VR that they will need when performing their real-world job. The trainee has the opportunity to make mistakes in VR, and to learn from them. By making those mistakes in the virtual world, the trainee can avoid making them in real life, where the consequences may be more severe.<br \/>Virtual Reality also allows for randomization of scenarios and making certain a trainee encounters all the different scenarios necessary ahead of performing in real-life, rather than waiting for those scenarios to potentially happen in training.<br \/>You can use VR to train employees in new skills, to give them a refresher course, or to upskill employees. While VR is not a full-on replacement for traditional or modern training methods, such as classroom learning and shadowing, training with VR reduces the time needed in those settings by enhancing the training experience in an environment where the trainee learns faster. And it can be used to teach a wide range of workforce skills \u2013 even some that you might not expect.<br \/>No matter your industry, your company can use VR to enhance employee training and assessment in a variety of subjects, including:<\/p><ul><li>On-the-job workforce skills<\/li><li>Crisis management &amp; prevention<\/li><li>Customer service<\/li><li>Leadership development<\/li><li>Diversity, Equity, &amp; Inclusion (DEI)<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c730c3\" data-id=\"5c730c3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0683465 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0683465\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About Avatars <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1df3b7f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1df3b7f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>An avatar is a digital representation of a person in a 3D computer-generated world.

For example, using a smartphone or tablet, an automotive design engineer can superimpose an AR hologram over a prototype car, to compare how the digital and physical models match. The engineer can also use <strong>avatars<\/strong> \u2013 or digital representations of people \u2013 to test how prospective customers might interact with the design, e.g. how a 5\u20196\u201d vs. a 6\u20193\u201d person fits inside the car, as either a driver or a passenger.<\/p><p>Using AR\/VR for product design:<\/p><ul><li>Helps to improve product quality<\/li><li>Reduces development cycle time<\/li><li>Provides data and insight for the next generation of products<\/li><\/ul><p>You can also use VR to design workspace layouts. For example, you can create a digital layout of a quick service restaurant kitchen, with appliances such as grills, deep fryers, assembly stations, etc. You can then use digital avatars to represent employees, to study how they move around the work station, interact with appliances and other employees, etc.<\/p><p><em><strong>Digital Twins and Virtual Environment Simulations<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>A digital twin is a virtual replica of any real-world object. In VR, you can create an exact digital duplication of an actual work environment, such as your company\u2019s offices. Every virtual room in the digital office \u2013 the lobby, the offices, the workspaces, the conference rooms, the break room, etc. \u2013 is laid out exactly as they are in the real offices where your employees work. All of the virtual objects \u2013 desks, computers, cubicle walls, tables in the conference room, vending machines in the break room, etc. \u2013 will be exact digital twins of the objects that exist in your real-world office.<\/p><p>Digital twins are often used to create virtual copies of real-world machines, for training purposes. For example, if you have a medical device, such as a CAT scan, you can create a digital twin of it in VR, replicating every switch, button, and monitor. Nursing students can then use VR training to learn how to operate the CAT scan, while the real-world machine remains open for serving patients, as it was intended.<\/p><p>Also, digital twins are used in AR to replicate real-life machines. Often, these digital twins exist in a virtual environment that recreates the real-life environment where the machine exists, such as a factory floor. In some cases, sensors on the real-life machine feed real-time performance data to the digital twin. Designers can use the AR environment to run virtual simulations and understand the effects of real-world decisions.

style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #f58200;\">Getting IT Involved for Device Management &amp; Security<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oftentimes the innovators who want to implement VR\/AR\/MR in an enterprise feel like they have to hide the endeavor from IT. Best practice for a smooth implementation, though, is to get IT involved right from the start.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any other device in your corporation, VR\/AR\/MR devices use Mobile Device Manager (MDM) software to manage the hardware. XR platforms exist that are SOC 2 compliant to alleviate IT\u2019s security concerns, and can be easily incorporated into your enterprise\u2019s tech stack by integrating into your Learning Management System (LMS).<\/span><\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #f58200;\">Content Management, Distribution &amp; Reporting at Scale<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make scaling your XR implementation as smooth as possible, find a VR\/AR\/MR provider that offers easy content management and distribution throughout your organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key features to look for are the ability to:<\/span><\/p><ul><li>Manage content permissions to specific organizations, roles, groups or employees<\/li><li>Wirelessly deliver curated content to any headset globally<\/li><li>Track the progress of training including status, completion and scoring<\/li><li>Report on users, modules, organizations or groups, including comparisons<\/li><\/ul><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #f58200;\"><strong>Turnkey Solutions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3><p>Using VR is not as technical as you might think. Many VR\/AR\/MR providers offer turnkey, out-of-the-box solutions. The XR provider will supply headsets already loaded with your modules, and each module can include an opening tutorial that teaches the trainee how to use the equipment and complete the training course. You can even choose kiosk mode so that the employee only has access to the library of modules you choose. So, using the solution is as easy as turning it on and signing in.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #f58200;\">Custom Content Costs<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For enterprises who need custom modules for their specific needs, in the past decade the costs of producing VR modules have significantly decreased. Today, you can use low-code VR content tools that make it easier, quicker, and inexpensive to create fully immersive, interactive custom VR modules. The VR provider hosts the module on their platform, and your organization pays for the hosting through a subscription service.<\/span><\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #f58200;\">Hardware &amp; Software Costs<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p>VR\/AR\/MR devices do require a capital expenditure. Though many VR\/AR\/MR software providers offer bundled hardware and software packages, the devices are still an expense. Often, just like with laptops and cell phones, enterprises purchase their devices separately as a capital expense, and access to an XR platform and modules is often subscription-based. If you need custom content developed, that is a one-time development fee, with a subscription for access to the platform and upkeep of that content.<\/p><p><em><b>Life, the Metaverse, and Everything<\/b><\/em><\/p><p>In the future, they say, every enterprise will have its own metaverse \u2013 a virtual platform where the company conducts and operates all forms of Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality. Each company\u2019s metaverse would include:<\/p><ul><li><b>Virtual Training<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Employees will log in to VR\/AR modules from wherever they are, and use VR headsets or glasses to train themselves in essential job skills.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Virtual Collaboration <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Employees will log in from multiple locations and use VR\/AR\/MR to meet, design or update products, run simulations, and exchange ideas.<\/span><\/li><li><b>Virtual Meetings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Executives and board members will hold meetings in a virtual conference room, with internal (e.g. managers, supervisors) and\/or external (e.g. vendors, partners, stockholders) attendees.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The metaverse is not a future technology. <\/span><b><i>The metaverse is here now!<\/i><\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now, you can build:<\/span><\/p><ul><li>A virtual environment that replicates your company\u2019s real-life environment, with VR technologies that are appropriate to your company\u2019s needs and goals.<\/li><li>Reports that collect, manage, track, and analyze data within that virtual environment<\/li><\/ul><p>Adopting VR\/AR\/MR-based training is the first step in establishing your company\u2019s metaverse.
