Case Study

Virtual Reality (VR), one of the branches of Extended Reality (XR) has become increasingly popular in training and education, because of its ability to provide immersive, interactive, and engaging simulations that mimic real-life situations. VR enables learners to practice in a safe and controlled environment that mirrors the real world. This allows them to learn from their mistakes without any real-world consequences. It is highly engaging and immersive, which helps learners retain information better. Users are more likely to remember what they learned and apply it in real-life situations. VR training can be cost-effective compared to traditional training methods. For example, in industries like aviation or medicine, training on real equipment can be expensive and risky, whereas VR training can simulate those scenarios without the associated costs and risks. VR training can be easily scaled to meet the needs of a large number of learners, regardless of their location. This makes it ideal for organizations with a geographically dispersed workforce. VR training can be customized to meet the specific needs of learners. For example, simulations can be created to address the needs of different industries, job roles, or learning styles. From 2005 onwards, Forklift University has been at the forefront of training people in Powered Industrial Trucks (PITs). They do both OSHA-compliant training and issue OSHA certifications. They understood that it was time to step up their game, and incorporating Virtual Reality into their training was the next evolution. They needed a solution that would enable their users to learn the dos and don’ts of forklift driving in a fairly realistic warehouse setting.
