Augmented Reality Training

What is Augmented Reality Training?

Augmented Reality Training for Workplace Development

Give an immediate boost to student engagement and improve workplace performance with employee-only, easy-to-scale experimental training.

Augmented Reality Benefits for Workplace Training

Safe Experiential Learning

Through virtual hands-on learning, augmented reality training creates an environment where employees are not at risk of damaging any real-world product or equipment. Students can practice on a virtual machine, so they are prepared to work safely in real life.

Increased mobility

Because AR technology is accessed through a phone or tablet, it's compatible with mobile devices. Load a training program on a phone or tablet so students can take it with them. Your AR training content can be used throughout the building, in multiple locations, or even at home.

Memorable microlearning

Microlearning - or training that focuses on a definable concept, skill or process - typically makes acquiring knowledge easier for students. This is especially true when microlearning is immensely captivating and individualized, as is the case with augmented reality solutions.

Can augmented reality train employees?

Augmented reality is not the answer to all training programs. AR training may not be as effective for topics that require a broader, more dynamic environment to make sense, such as social skills. For this training, you can consider virtual reality.

AR learning is more efficient when you approach one skill, topic, or process at a time. You can draw students' attention to exactly what they need to learn by enhancing reality with digital elements.

We have developed Augmented Reality Training for behavior change in areas that include:

• Technical Training (manufacturing, repair, assembly)
• Operations training (machine operation, logistics, point-of-sale transactions)
• Safety training (protocol, safe handling of delicate equipment or materials)
• Product knowledge training (retail associates, sales teams, customer education)
• Integration training (share company history, familiarize new hires with the workplace)

How augmented reality training works

Augmented reality adds interactive digital elements to a real-world live environment through a phone, tablet, or headset.

You can use your device to manipulate computer-generated objects in a 3D space, seeing everything as if it were in front of you, and more because you can see internal objects or manipulate the size of the object.

Whether your organization needs to develop technical skills or look for interactive integration activities, there are three types of AR technology to help achieve your goals:

Target image

Image Target AR overlays videos, text, images, or 3D objects in a real-world 2D image.

Students can focus their devices on a security poster to generate a video about their organization's security procedures.

Object recognition

Object Recognition AR attaches a 3D digital model to a real-world object that students can pick up and manipulate.

Students can target real-world equipment to create a digital model to practice disassembly and reassembly.

Aircraft detection

Plane Detection AR places a digital 3D model on a real-world flat surface.

Students can point their device to the ground in front of them to produce a full-scale model of a large machine that they can walk, inspect, and practice operation.

Augmented reality training in amusement park

Every year, this national amusement park group prepares for a summer season of exciting attractions, concessions, entertainment and hundreds of thousands of guests. New employees could learn which buttons to press on the cash register, but they couldn't feel the stress of a queue stretching around the corner or from a customer who needed to change their order at the last second.

The park needed an interactive and scalable training program to integrate its seasonal staff effectively and efficiently.
