Although we might still be a long way from dialing into the Matrix, virtual reality has evolved significantly since Heilig’s Sensorama in the 1960s, and it isn’t being used strictly for entertainment these days.
VR has made its way into the corporate world with incredible success and will only evolve to become more commonplace. Whether employees type away at a computer, ring up items at a register, pilot a forklift in a hectic factory or deliver quarterly sales projections during a shareholder’s meeting, VR can help them be better at what they do. VR turns passive training into an immersive experience by tricking the brain into thinking what it sees in the virtual world is real. VR provides a practice playground for individuals to try new skills, safely fail, learn from their mistakes and succeed on the job.
