VR Safety Skills Application Features:
All Luminous off the shelf content comes with many advanced features built in these include:
3 Core Training Modes:
Assisted Learning – Assisted learning is like having your own personal mentor. Trainees are shown the correct process guided by audio narrative, visual ques, and highlights. They can practice tasks as much as they like, building muscle memory until tasks become second nature.
Practice Mode – In practice mode all guidance is turned off and the trainees must recall the full process. If users carry out a step incorrectly, they’re notified they have done it wrong or in some instances shown a consequence before being put back a step to try again. This process reinforces learning, where everything must be memorized so users can progress to the next step.
Assessment Mode – The place to put all learning and knowledge into practice. Assessment mode tests users on each procedure where they must carry out the full module correctly from memory. All assessment steps and data are logged creating a digital training record.
Multiuser Mode
Up to 10 students can simultaneously enter the virtual space. An instructor can monitor the training via our desktop app and has access to many controls to manage students, make different users active, highlighting, hiding or muting them.
Localisation:
Ensure everyone has access to the same training, safety skills supports 10 different languages: English Dutch French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish & Hungarian
In multiuser mode different students can activate different languages at the same time, this includes full translation of audio narrative and all user menus and buttons so users can learn wherever they are, in their strongest language.
Interactive Hand Menu:
At any point in the training a student can bring up a hand menu to see which step they are on. In assisted learning they can also jump forwards or backwards through the procedure so they can perfect specific steps.
