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.
