Virtual reality training company, Unleashed VR, aims to breach the scalability and affordability gap between online learning and live training. Online learning, while being cost-efficient and widely accessible, lacks the experiential application of skills and knowledge offered through live training.
Live training can prove to be highly effective in the short term, but too expensive and of limited benefit to improving long term behavioural skills and soft skills.
VR training in these areas gives people the opportunity to repeatedly practice skills in challenging and realistic simulations, thereby developing their knowledge and abilities to a level where they feel competent and confident in real world situations.
Unleashed VR, a training start-up operating out of Perth, provides leading-edge immersive technology solutions while developing exclusive behavioural training products for the 21st century.
A McKinsey’s’ study found that 49% of current job activities are automatable with existing technologies, with many repetitive and process driven roles the first to disappear.
Unleashed VR CEO, Ben Bauert, says, “This means, more than ever, jobs that are soft skills focused will be increasingly important future employment opportunities.”
Over the past year, Unleashed VR has been working with organisational psychologists, workplace trainers, and immersive learning researchers to develop an immersive learning framework that can be applied to the development of various workplace behavioural skills.
Bauert believes that in the near future with the rise of AI automation, first-rate interpersonal skills will be even more critical for employment.
Due to the early nature of immersive technologies, Unleashed VR continues to develop its skill-set through improving its own methodologies, undertaking development consulting projects, and product partnerships.
For example, the company is currently partnering with a top Western Australian university on the development of a high value medical training program.
Unleashed VR is made up of a team of talented young developers and artists specifically skilled in this new technology, mixed with highly experienced advisors that cover software engineering, professional development coaching, psychologists, and the VR and gaming industries in Silicon Valley.
