Virtual reality makes it possible to precisely replicate a working environment, so that the employees can fully immerse themselves in it. Mixed reality training courses also allow for more interaction between the instructors and their students. They can actively participate in a virtual classroom or in an online conference.

This kind of immersion is the perfect complement to in-person training as theory can be be put into “virtual” practice without having to worry about making mistakes before applying what has been learned in the real world.

Virtual reality training therefore saves time, money and keeps risks to a minimum and is an economical and engaging solution to make online training a success.
