Ways in which companies use virtual reality (VR)

Many companies are already using VR-trainingen to prepare their employees for certain situations. The major advantage of these training sessions is that you no longer need to recreate the physical space. For example, consider a fire drill; when you train your staff in the virtual world to handle fire correctly, you no longer need to spend an entire afternoon getting everyone safely outside. Additionally, VR offers a completely new experience, making the training much more memorable than a standard fire drill. VR is also extremely suitable for practising speeches or short pitches. A great example of this is the app VirtualSpeech, which allows you to practise in foto-realistische environments with the help of the app.

Estate agents and architects can make very effective use of VR. By recreating a house or room in the virtual world, you can see the space without being physically present. You can also easily change things, giving you different perspectives that you might otherwise have missed. For example, consider the colour of a wall or a certain light incidence that you wouldn't be able to see or change in real life. VR also offers the possibility of virtual tours. This is useful for people looking for a new home, but also consider the possibilities of giving potential clients a virtual tour of your office!

The world continues to innovate. Conducting research is a vital part of these innovations. But not only does the world continue to innovate, the way research is conducted also keeps changing. Nowadays, VR is increasingly used in research. A virtual world is, of course, the ultimate way to investigate something, as you can relatively easily influence various environmental factors. You may also not want to try some experiments directly in real-life, as it could be dangerous for the test subject or difficult to gather all test subjects in one place simultaneously. Many research centres worldwide are already implementing VR. From investigating malignant cells in the body to testing motor skills in an ascending virtual spaceship; with VR, it’s all possible.

Presentations and meetings can sometimes be dull. One way to make your meeting and/or presentation truly engaging is by using VR! Take your audience on a journey in a completely new way. Don’t just let them listen to you, let them experience the story! By creatively putting together a presentation, you can keep your listeners engaged by continually surprising them, without losing the core of your message. Besides building a completely virtual world, augmented reality (AR) can also be a very good addition to your story. Combine the real world with the virtual world, for example, by showing life-sized statistics in real-life.

A huge number of companies attend trade shows and events, almost all with the goal of exchanging information or making connections with others. The strength of a trade show lies in the large number of people who come specifically to see your field. You want to reach as many people as possible at a trade show. How do you do that? By setting up an amazing attraction that draws people to you and shows them something completely new! A trade show or event about technology, engineering, gaming, innovations, robotics, or anything else? VR can always be used and is incredibly interesting for all fields!
