Your creative studio for Insites

Gettting your team up to speed, and keeping them there, is hard.

Especially when the type of knowledge needed is linked to a particular location. You’ve got to organise the location itself, the trainer and also the trainees – who might need to be given time off and then transported to the location. Inevitably these events require many resources and take time to organise. During that time there’s always the risk that individuals without the adequate training get hurt, cause damage or the company is fined for non-compliance.

Even if everything else goes right it’s not always optimum to walk around a potentially dangerous environment with a group who are all trying to take in what the trainer is telling them. The reality of onsite training is more people you train – the less effective the training becomes.

Working through a list of facts is boring and easily forgotten – in 3D you choose your own learning path and remember more.

As children, we learn to find toys in our play area. Children don’t arrange the world into indexes and folders – that’s something the computer did to adults.

To give an example, a car has lots of elements that connect with each other. It’s not always logical to break them into subsets. If a warning light goes off, it’s not easy to guess which chapter of the manual explains what that light means. In Insites all you need to do is click on the light itself to find the answer. 

By bringing the location to the learner, save resources and reduce risk.

Insites make it possible to reach the required levels of training about a location without having set foot in it. This is particularly useful when the space is under very high demand or particularly hazardous. There is no limit on the amount of people that can train and there is no delay. Training can be made consistent and regularly updated to conform with changes in regulations, also trainees can be tracked and evaluated throughout the process.

Progress can be monitored for tracking by learning management system but also to provide the user information as to what they still need to find out. Training of this type is already becoming a recognised alternative to standard e-learning or in person training.

Well yes, if you use computer graphics and traditional gaming tools to build your VR.

Making traditional VR means designing and modelling a computer world from nothing -the result can get more realistic the more resources you throw at it, but ultimately the realism is limited by the speed and power of the device you watch it on.

360º tours however, are realistic but normally very passive experiences. What we’ve done is take the best out of both worlds – the interactivity of VR and the realism of 360º.

What makes Insites more than just that is it doesn’t even require a powerful device – in fact it runs well on whatever you might be using. So if you don’t like wearing a headset you can have VR on your tablet or a mobile phone.
