106 Using VR in the Workplace: Lessons from Navy SEAL Training Simulations

10:45 AM - 11:45 AM Tuesday, June 26

California

Some job requirements can be hard to practice. Simulating tasks may be too dangerous, too expensive to set up, or too hard to distribute to employees across geographies. Vistual reality is a viable solution to address such challenges. In VR, risks are free, design and development can be cheaper than setting up real-world training scenarios, and, as VR headsets can easily be shipped to different places, the need to fly people into locations for training is reduced.

In this session, you will expolore a VR simulation case study from the military, in which a VR simulation is used to improve communication and operator compliance with the expectation of saving lives. Lessons learned and best practices will be shared with the audience.

In this session you will learn:

  • The ROI potential of VR simulations
  • How VR can be used to reduce training and operations risks
  • How communication can be improved in VR simulations
  • The process of taking a VR training idea from concept to implementation

Audience:

Managers and senior leaders (directors, VPs, CLOs, executives, etc.).

Technology discussed in this session:

Virtual reality, augmented reality, 3-D immersion.
