Virtual Reality Training3D “learning by doing” experiences

Qbit Technologies

What is immersive VR?“VR is a computer-generated simulation of a three dimensional

environment in which the user is able to view and manipulate or

interact with.” Gaddis (1997)

Virtual reality training allows:

• 3D modelling and sharing of 2D content

• active interaction with the created environment, thanks to external

input devices (e.g.: mouse & keyboard, gamepad, or Oculus Rift)

• visual and auditory feedback

• simulation of 3D scenarios, even risk scenarios, within a 3D

controlled environment

The virtual reality environment creates an immersive experience for the

users and it avoids real world distractions and also allows a real time

interaction with 3D objects.

What is VR training?Qbit’s VR training environments are virtual spaces which allow users

to be trained through learning-by-doing experiences from a first or

third person view.

• Learning-by-doing

Virtual reality training creates a rich, interactive, engaging and fun

educational context thanks to an experiential learning process.

• First-person or third-person view

These points of view enable the trainee to be in the middle of the

experience: the users build their knowledge through a “perceptual

illusion of non-mediation” between them and the computer.

VR trainingdesignThe VR training process for Qbit’s 3D training simulations is

divided in three main parts:

IntroductionTrainees will be introduced to the VR training simulation, learning how to move, to interact and to communicate.

EvaluationThe training platform will provide a set of logs to evaluate the learner’s activities. This information will help tracking the progress and the knowledge transfer of trainees.

Execution

Trainees will be requested to execute tasks with the final purpose of being able to learn an entire process or subject studied. Each step could be first described by the platform and then performed by the trainees.

Qbit VR training benefits

Risk-free 3D online environments where to simulate any possible scenario.

Safe Learning

Divide your content in units, to make it more comprehensible.

Didactic Reduction of Complexity

Learn by doing, actively interacting with 3D objects, other trainees, and your tutors.

Active LearningTailored learning 3D experiences according to your needs.

Tailor Made

Repeat as many times as you want a single process to make it yours.

Increase Clarity Collaborative

Interact with VR models, which are more challenging and stimulating than a book.

High Engagement

Monitor and record each VR training session.

Evaluation & Assessment

Shared 3D experiences, to make more users work together in real time, through Avatars.

It facilitates interaction and collaboration with others.

Knowledge Transfer

Plug & play

Accessible everywhere and anytime.

Online 24/7

Connect easily the VR smart devices like Oculus Rift to get a much more immersive experience.

Your VR training spaceOur VR training simulations are highly immersive and fun to play with,

making your online courses more dynamic and interactive, while giving more

advanced features in comparison to traditional 2D web e-learning.

Our virtual worlds for 3D training are based on the latest technologies in

order to provide your trainees with a more immersive 3D online experience,

where users will collaborate in real time, through Avatars.

● Get your 3D training centre or 3D training room adapted to your

project needs.

● We develop 3D online spaces for different sectors: automotive,

fashion & living, defense, engineering, education and more.

● Develop your own training course material, and benefit of realistic

interactions with 3D prototypes and items.

● Equip your tutors with 3D tools to monitor and manage the students.

● Our VR training simulations work with mouse and keyboard, but

through Oculus Rift and similar products, your students will get a

much more immersive experience.

SuccessfulApplicationsExamples of VR training simulations by Qbit

VR training in global energy

● to reduce the transportation and equipment costs of the

personnel;

● to give the opportunity to engineers, planners, safety experts

and workers to identify problems, explore options and

determine the best solution without disrupting actual plant

operations;

● to give the opportunity to workers to learn exactly which kind

of equipment they should need to solve a real scenario;

● to plan and inform workers on their project tasks before

reaching the oil rig platform;

● to train the personnel at different levels.

Qbit VR training simulation demonstrated the efficiency of a 3D training

process compared to traditional ones. In addition, we were able to

simulate risk scenarios in a safe 3D environment, avoiding any risk for

personnel or equipment, keeping training costs lower.

VR training in healthcare

● to simulate scenarios where individuals should act directly

with patients, understanding their needs and so to know

exactly which could be the cause of an illness and react;

● to simulate scenarios when speed and accuracy of response

are critical, as in emergency situations, and so to provide the

trainees with the opportunity of practicing required skills.

Qbit VR training simulation demonstrated different opportunities

offered by such solution in the medical sector, where at each level

(from the student to the doctor), the users could perform actions in 3D

and, repeating the scenario in the simulation, they could improve

faster.

VR training in construction

● to enable users to inspect buildings and make informed

decisions within a safe 3D controlled environment;

● through the use of modern VR devices like Oculus Rift, we will

have achieved a higher awareness of a scene to improve the

quality of the building inspection;

● to identify the objects and events that represent potential risks

within a construction yard;

● assimilation of risks conditions;

● costs reduction.

Qbit Technologies demonstrated the importance of training through 3D

technologies in the construction sector, to prepare workers at different

scenarios and so potential risks, from residential to industrial areas.
