Ways Businesses are Using Virtual Reality (VR)

Many companies already use VR training to prepare their employees for specific situations. The great advantage of these trainings is that you no longer need to recreate the physical space. Consider a fire drill; if you train your staff in the virtual world to deal correctly with fire, you no longer need to set aside an entire afternoon to get everyone out safely. Plus, VR offers a completely new experience, making the training much more memorable than a standard fire drill. VR is also perfectly suited for practicing speeches or short pitches. A good example of this is the VirtualSpeech app, where you can practice in photorealistic environments with the help of the app.

Real estate agents and architects can make very effective use of VR. By replicating a house or room in the virtual world, you can see the room without needing to be physically present. You can also easily make changes, providing different perspectives that you might have missed otherwise. Think, for example, about the color of a wall or a certain light that you would not be able to see or change in real life. VR also allows for virtual tours. This is handy, for instance, for people looking for a new home, but also think about the possibilities of giving potential clients a virtual tour of your office!

The world continues to innovate. Research is therefore a vital part of these innovations. But not only is the world innovating, the way of conducting research is also changing. Nowadays, VR is being used more and more in research. A virtual world is of course the ultimate way to investigate something, because you can relatively easily influence various environmental factors. Also, you may not want to try out some research immediately in real life, because it can be dangerous for the test person or because it is difficult to get all test subjects at one place at the same time. Many research centers around the world are already implementing VR. From researching malignant cells in the body, to testing motor skills in an ascending virtual spaceship; with VR, anything is possible.

Presentations and meetings can sometimes be boring. A way to truly engage your audience in your meeting or presentation is by using VR! Take your audience on a completely new journey through your story. Don't just let them listen, let them experience the story! By creatively constructing a presentation, you can keep your listeners engaged by continually surprising them, without losing the essence of your story. In addition to building a completely virtual world, augmented reality (AR) can also be a great addition to your story. Combine the real world with the virtual world, for example, by displaying statistics in real-life size.

A vast number of companies attend trade shows and events, almost all with the goal of exchanging information or making connections with others. The power of a trade show lies in the large number of people who specifically come to look at your field. So, you want to reach as many people as possible at a trade show. How do you do that? By setting up an incredible attraction that draws people in and shows them something completely new! A trade show or event about technology, engineering, gaming, innovations, robotics, you name it? VR can always be used and is extremely interesting for all fields! Want to give your visitors a truly new experience? Check out the Virtuix Omni and the Hypersuit!
