Expo Hall: Tools & Platform Stage
Virtual reality training has held an allure for eLearning developers for many years, but creating custom interactive VR content has traditionally been too expensive and too time-consuming for most applications. Has it reached an inflection point? Is it time to re-evaluate the advantages and costs of producing 360-degree VR training? This session will explore the potential of 360 VR, look at the landscape of available technology solutions, and learn how to create interactive 360 VR solutions in record time.
In this session, you will learn about VR and the various applications for training and learning. You will explore various options for creating and consuming VR content. Discover how the democratization of media as a historic phenomenon has predicted the rise of VR as the cost of production reaches levels that make the technology far more accessible to a broad range of content creators. Learn what kinds of projects align well with immersive VR training solutions. Discover how to recognize potential projects and activities that are well suited for the technology, based on the learning objectives that you have developed for your projects.
In this session, you will learn:
- What kind of learning objectives indicate solid alignment with VR
- How to know when it’s the right time to consider using VR for your training
