Virtual Technologies Are Transforming the Way We Live and Work
Virtual technologies like VR, augmented reality (AR) and virtualization allow people to interact with a computer-generated universe that replicates the real world. They’re revolutionizing the ways we work and live by creating new ways to tell stories and designing environments to creating immersive experiences which make us feel that we are part of a fantasy world.
Teachers are using VR to improve access to educational resources and level the playing field for students from rural or underdeveloped areas that might not otherwise have the same opportunities as urban counterparts. The technology is also making it easier for students with family or work commitments to be engaged with their studies.
AR/VR is a powerful economic driver, generating jobs in the fields of software/hardware development, content creation, distribution advertising and licensing and IP management. These sectors are helping transform both advanced and developing economies.
The rapid expansion of XR technology has also led to new ethical issues. As more people become familiar with the technology there’s a greater need for companies to demonstrate the safety of it by conducting tests and monitoring human users. The increased immersion of VR can have both cognitive and physiological effects, which designers must be aware of in the beginning stages.
Successful VR programs require careful project management to prevent scope expansion and ensure a positive learning experience for everyone involved. With a strong leader and a team of committed SMEs you can make use of the power of VR to enhance your training programmes and increase the size of your business.
