Employees are required to remember tons of information on the company and its rules. Retention and recall of information is essential at all times, as this ensures safety for them, their team members, and also their customers. This is where the VR steps in. Active engagement through VR scenarios increases the ability to remember, recall essential information and ensure safety.

VR has been changing the field of L&D for quite some time now. This immersive technology with an ability to provide unique, real-world experience has been often addressed as »the future of L&D«. Though, it can only become the future if L&D professionals know how to implement it correctly.
Skills assessments are unavoidable and often an integral part of many organizations. Many company giants, like Walmart or Johnson&Johnson, are already using VR for skills assessment. How to asses which of the many applicants is perfect for the job? How to evaluate performance and decide on promotions in an objective, non-biased way? The main areas where skills assessments are crucial are in recruiting and promotions. We will focus on both and provide solutions on how VR solves the issues, arising in each area.
Companies across various industries use immersive learning to revolutionize their L&D programs and to align their employee skills with business goals. As VR creates a second reality, employees get the real feel of how would their decisions influence others. Usually, trainees start by observing and later doing the job on their own. By practicing, learners are more likely to develop physical connections and let the information sit in the long term memory.
Soft skills are already a great differentiator in jobs that require lots of interpersonal skills. However, people working in jobs that demand specific skills will have to improve soft skills to be able to compete with others.

Training employees is a long and complicated procedure, especially when the skills employees need to acquire are technical. Training demands long hours of practicing and frequently lasts more days. Multiple repetitions of the same actions are needed for the employees to familiarise themselves with the process.

We decided to release an extremely valuable feature on Viar360 - remote multiuser synchronized viewing in virtual reality. This means you can now host live group VR sessions and guide trainees through immersive training scenarios designed with Viar360. It puts you in control and gives your viewers the best experience possible.
Virtual reality has become more and more accessible recently as the technology has advanced. Right now, most people associate it with video games but the possibilities as to how we can use it are endless. From the agriculture industry to medicine to manufacturing and labor-intensive jobs, technology is changing the way we may complete several tasks and projects in our particular fields of work.
