VR safety training is great, but it's not perfect. Teams need a solid plan to avoid discrepancies - Budgeting, planning, and getting your team on board are just some of the concerns executives need to keep in mind.
Here's what you should consider beforehand:
Initial Set-up Costs of VR Safety Training:
A good VR module can cost $10,000 to $50,000 based on what it does, what gear you need, and how it connects with other systems. But, it pays off because you spend less training on each worker and have fewer accidents.
Keeping VR Safety Training Content Fresh:
Safety rules change, so you'll need someone to update the VR scenarios. If your systems are modular (like SCORM/xAPI), it's simpler to update things.
Getting People to Use VR Training Modules:
Some workers might not want to use headsets or new tech, mainly if they're older. Start with simple training, like watching simulations, to get them comfortable.
Space Constraints and Training Rooms:
VR training usually needs a 6x6 foot space for each person. If you don't have much room, try seated VR or headsets that work in smaller areas.
IT Regulations and Privacy:
Organizations should ensure their chosen VR workplace training platform complies with privacy and security standards. Connecting to learning systems, handling data in the cloud, and following rules like GDPR/ISO are key, especially in healthcare and aviation.
Quick Tip: Work with a company that updates content, supports learning systems, and provides gear as part of their service. This cuts down on work for you and gets things going faster. AutoVRse experts can always lend you a hand with VR Safety Training deployment.
