What is Virtual Reality?
In simple words, virtual reality is when a
person is immersed in a computer generated,
simulated environment, that he can explore or
interact with. The experience is generally made
more realistic through the stimulation of the
users senses including vision, hearing, touch,
etc.
According to WhatIs.com, Virtual Reality is an
artificial environment that is created with
software and presented to the user in such a way
that the user suspends belief and accepts it as a
real environment.

A brief history of VR
Though the concept of VR gained traction is the
80s and 90s, there were elements of virtual
reality as far back as 1860s. The modern concept
of virtual reality was first referenced in 1935
by science fiction writer Stanley G. Weinbaum in
his short story Pygmalions Glasses, years before
the term was even coined.
Virtual Reality has indeed come a long way since
its inception, and one of the main areas in
which it is steadily making its mark is corporate
training and online education. The primary
reason why more and more organizations are
choosing to use VR in training for their
employees is that the immersive nature of virtual
reality enables the employees to get a more hands
on and practical training experience without
having to worry about any risks or fear of making
mistakes.

Benefits of using Virtual Reality in Training
Decreases Risk Factor The major benefit of
Virtual Reality in training is that it simulates
risky or dangerous situations in a controlled
environment, thus removing the risk factor
associated with such tasks. This not only allows
the learner to get a more hands on training
experience of risky situations but also helps
alleviate his fear of making mistakes. Visual
Approach Its true that people retain better
what they can see or experience rather than
simply what they are made to read. VR in
training makes use of this and creates a more
visual learning experience for the learner,
improving his understanding and retention
capacity. Innovative and enjoyable Innovative
and enjoyable VR for training, being a fairly
new concept in training, and with its promise of
an immersive and enjoyable learning experience,
is especially attractive to the learners and thus
helps in creating more learner engagement
motivation.

Benefits of using Virtual Reality in Training
Simplifies complex data As with visual
approach, when learners are able to actually
experience difficult or complex situations
themselves they are better able to grasp the
handling of those situations. Virtual Reality in
training is able to simplify the complex nature
of certain situations by allowing the learner to
experience it himself rather than just trying to
learn about it from written data. Real world
scenarios VR for training is especially
interesting to use as it can recreate real world
experiences and allows the learner to immerse
himself in the situation. For example, if your
training program involves a real case that the
organization has faced in the past, the new
employee will have a much better grasp of how to
handle the situation by using virtual reality
training, where he will get to see for himself
what the situation was and how it has to be
handled. Remote access Since Virtual Reality
in training creates a simulated environment and
does not require a dedicated classroom, it can be
conducted remotely, saving both time and money
that would otherwise have to be spent on planning
and developing a complete training program for
the learners.
