💡Last week, we announced the launch of our Altius VR program, which begins with onboarding 1,600 security officers in its initial phase. Altius allows security officers to undergo training in virtual environments using VR headsets. These environments accurately replicate their real workplaces, each recreated using advanced 3D camera technology. Our Managing Director, Liz Cummins shared: "this technology is enabling us to close the gap between the training room and real-world situations. We are excited about the difference it is making for our people and the benefits it is delivering for all the customers who adopted it. We believe that in the coming years, more companies in our industry will develop and deploy VR training programmes and this will substantially improve security and service quality across the industry." 👉 For a detailed insight into how 'Altius' is enhancing our security capabilities click here: https://lnkd.in/e9DMYSUU #Technology #Data #Facman #Cleaning #Security

Engagement, understanding, and subsequent practical application are key to the effectiveness of any learning experience. A recent article in The Academy of International Business by Dr. Evaristo Doria discusses the role of VR in immersive experiential learning, enhancing understanding and application in global settings. The specific case discussed in the article is based on the use of Arthur for an International Business course immersing the students in the context and business cases of a different country. The discussion also has insights for business leaders on adopting VR for training, improving team collaboration across geographical boundaries, and fostering innovation. Some practical business use cases that are currently benefiting from immersive experience-based learning include a wide range of learning and development trainings, new employee onboardings, and visual client presentations. #VRinBusiness #Innovation #ExperientialLearning

Virtual Reality (VR) VR is rapidly changing the way we interact with technology, and it's not just for gaming anymore. Today, VR has found its place in business, education, and healthcare, offering immersive experiences that go beyond what's possible in the real world. In business, VR is used for virtual meetings, team building, and product demonstrations. This technology allows people to collaborate in virtual spaces as if they're in the same room, even when they're miles apart. In education, VR opens new doors for learning. Students can take virtual field trips, explore historical events, or even conduct science experiments in a virtual lab. This makes learning more interactive and engaging, helping students understand complex topics in a hands-on way. Healthcare is also embracing VR. Surgeons can use VR simulations to practice complex procedures, while therapists use VR to help patients with anxiety or phobias. This technology is proving to be a valuable tool for training and therapy. As VR continues to evolve, we can expect even more innovative applications. Whether it's exploring new business opportunities, enhancing education, or improving healthcare, VR is a technology that's here to stay. If you haven't experienced VR yet, now is a great time to dive in and see what it has to offer. #VirtualReality #TechInnovation #FutureOfWork #ImmersiveLearning
