What did occupational health and safety training look like in your company before the introduction of VR technology?
(Karolina Rajmund): Health and safety training before the introduction of VR technology was conducted mainly in the form of multimedia presentations or lectures, sometimes also in the form of practical demonstrations. Although there were no great difficulties in transferring knowledge, sometimes there was a lack of involvement of participants. Traditional training lacked interaction, opportunities to practice activities, and therefore - full involvement of participants.
Where did the idea to use VR technology in training come from and why did your company decide to use this solution?
(Karolina Rajmund):
As a company, we want to develop and move forward with all technological innovations. That's why we thought about VR glasses. Thanks to the introduction of VR technology, it was possible to create more interactive, attractive and engaging health and safety training. Participants can now literally move into a simulated work environment, practice various scenarios and gain practical experience, which significantly improves the effectiveness of the knowledge transferred. Additionally, thanks to VR technology, you can quickly and effectively conduct training at any place and time, which also positively affects its effectiveness. Thanks to VR glasses, it is possible to conduct virtual training and practical simulations that are more engaging and effective than traditional forms of education. Additionally, thanks to this technology, training costs can be reduced because it eliminates the need to organize and transport participants. The idea to use VR glasses for training appeared because we decided that such an innovative form of education would be a response to the needs of the market and would allow the company to stand out. Thanks to the commitment and creativity of all team members, we managed to implement this idea and introduce modern training solutions based on VR technology. We want to use the latest and most effective learning methods, which is why we are constantly looking for solutions that will allow us, our partners and clients to develop and achieve even greater success. That's why we decided to use VR technology, which allows for realistic and interactive educational experiences.
