The ability to simulate different scenarios, from an immersive first-person perspective, is very compelling. According to University of Maryland researchers , you can increase your retention of information by nearly 9% using VR over traditional video. Now, it seems like any company not using VR in the field is falling behind.

Traditional video and paper-based training simply isn’t good enough for a lot of these real-life jobs. VR provides a good immersion into the situation, and allows the users to make simulated decisions. Words, photos, and standard 2d videos can only have so much impact at a job fair or recruiting event.

Aircraft and parts engineers can also use AR and VR devices to collaborate on new designs from anywhere in the world, sharing and testing ideas and even simulating the assembly or installation process to foresee issues. Enterprises are also finding VR to be superior to reading a manual, watching videos, or taking a lecture-style class.

I haven’t been able to try this new way of teaching due to logistic reasons, but from the videos the concept seems interesting. They made some trials and discovered that the more the simulation is real, the more the memory palace is effective. So, 6 DOF VR is better than 3 DOF VR, VR is better than flat screens and so on.
