3 REVOLUTIONIZING PLATFORMS Immersive technology and virtual reality are becoming widely used in our daily lives. We are at the forefront of implementing this technology that will dramatically enhance training for our clients environmental, health and safety (EHS) programs. We are also using it to advance our own employees understanding of EHS. When immersive technology is applied in training and learning scenarios, it will increase long term knowledge retention by placing the learner in a controlled, virtual environment that uses active participation. It will create more meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact. HOLOLENS Mixed reality platform HTC VIVE Room-scaled virtual reality environment SAMSUNG GEAR VR GOOGLE CARDBOARD MOBILE APPS Software designed to run on a mobile device Virtual environment for phone or tablet using 360 panoramic images. Gaze navigation, triggered by hotspots connecting user to next image. Great for public outreach, shows completed design or construction. Phone mounted foldout cardboard viewer Head-mounted display, stereoscopic view to enrich immersive feeling. Low cost and ease of use, perfect for wider audiences. Easy to implement and can use with any phone. Offers ability to brand custom giveaway headsets. Samsung phone mounted to headset Wireless, content delivered over the web. Higher image quality, more interactivity. Suited for training with more visual observation, but limited environment interaction. Physically move in room-scaled virtual reality environment, handheld controllers for manipulating, and interacting with virtual objects. Locational audio, playback and tracking capabilities to record, follow movements. Great for showing design and training with vastly increased interaction capability. User sees physical world and high-definition holograms. Greater collaboration as multiple users see same virtual world simultaneously. More sophisticated and complex than other platforms, provides highest interactivity.
