FAQ about vr training
How much does it cost to create a virtual reality training course?
The cost depends on factors such as design, technology, interactivity and, of course, the duration and complexity of the VR training.
The cost of VR training with 360-degree videos is generally lower. Prices start at around 5 thousand euros and can go up to 15K.
The cost of interactive VR training with 3D starts at about 15K and can go up to 50K.
What is the process of developing vr training?
The process begins with an inventory of the organization and a collaborative determination of the opportunities for VR training. Then the learning objectives and process are formulated.
Based on a project plan and design document, development begins. Two deliverables follow: the alpha and beta versions. After two rounds of feedback, a final version is created.
How long does it take to develop vr training?
On average, VR training takes between 8 and 12 weeks to develop. Depending on the technology and complexity, it can be a few weeks shorter or longer.
Are there recurring costs associated with VR training?
For a simple virtual reality training courses that do not use the Internet or other services, the recurring costs are low. The VR goggles need to be replaced after a few years, which is the main cost.
For more complex virtual reality training, for example, there are costs for hosting and updating the application. Count about 5 to 10 percent of the total app value per year.
Do you also offer a VR headset for VR training?
Yes, we offer a complete solution where the hardware is an important component. You can contact us for consultation, purchase, installation and support.
What makes VR training a cost-effective and safe training tool for corporate training outcomes?
VR training offers a realistic environment where VR learners can engage in effective training, honing their skills in a safe environment without the high costs associated with other training modalities.
This training tool has been shown to improve training outcomes by providing immersive and practical experiences that are essential for corporate training success.
How can virtual training be implemented in existing training programs?
Implementing VR training in existing training programs can be done in several ways.
One approach could be to use VR training as a supplement to traditional training, where VR is used for specific modules or parts of a course that could benefit from the immersive and interactive capabilities of VR training.
Another approach could be to develop a full VR training program that runs parallel to the traditional program, giving participants a choice between different learning methods.
How can VR simulation contribute to medical training and safety training?
VR simulation can make a valuable contribution to both medical training and safety training.
In medical vr training, VR simulations are virtual reality training examples that can be used to practice complex procedures, study anatomy, or to learn how to handle emergencies in a safe and controlled environment.
For safety training, virtual reality simulations can create realistic scenarios in which participants can learn and practice how to respond to various safety incidents.
What makes virtual reality training more effective than traditional training methods?
Virtual reality training can be more cost effective rather than traditional training methods for several reasons.
Firstly, VR training provides an immersive learning experience that can increase engagement and retention of information.
Secondly, VR training allows participants to learn by doing, which can lead to better understanding and VR soft skills acquisition.
Thirdly, VR training can be customized to individual learning needs, making it a flexible and personalized learning tool.
How can traditional learning methods be improved with VR training?
Traditional learning methods can be improved with VR training by adding an immersive, interactive component to the learning process.
Instead of passively absorbing information, learners can actively participate in their own learning by experimenting, problem-solving, and practicing in a virtual environment.
Additionally, VR training can improve access to education by enabling learning anywhere and anytime, which can be particularly valuable for distance education or self-directed learning.
Why is VR training advantageous for soft skills development in employees?
Virtual Reality training immerses employees in lifelike simulations, allowing them to practice and develop soft skills with soft skills training, such as emotional intelligence, leadership, and decision-making in a safe and cost-effective environment.
This approach not only accelerates learning—up to four times faster than traditional classroom settings—but also offers an effective, remote-friendly method to equip learners with skills that are increasingly crucial in today’s job market
Moreover, VR training addresses the high costs and logistical challenges of i
ln-person training, preparing workers for a future where soft skill-intensive jobs are predominant
