Demos:
Look On Media - Look On Media’s advanced VR utility training is built from the ground up to effectively teach and track trainees learning dangerous and critical tasks such as identifying gas leaks in the field. The interactive VR software is modeled after real world scenarios and randomized each time to reinforce the critical thinking necessary to complete the tasks effectively. Under the hood it is measuring numerous data points and providing scores and feedback to the trainee after each user session. The powerful software is already in use at major utility providers and can be customized for any use case, even for industries outside the utility space such as healthcare, education and industrial training.
