Virtual Reality

Since 2006, we have been working and playing in the best-known consumer Virtual Reality (VR) environment, Second Life, which boasts somewhere between 600,000 and one million users. We have found it to be a great way to provide training to our clients because of its:

• Strong vendor support with regular updates.

• Free user accounts.

• Global accessibility.

• Communication resources, including text chat, voice chat, and language translation.

• Presentation resources, such as in-world video and web content.

• Robust 3D authoring tools, giving us the ability to mock up real world locations and situations.

• Real-time instructor and student interactivity.

We offer organizations that wish to engage their workforces through Second Life the following services:

• Consulting on establishing a user-friendly and policy compliant presence in-world.

• External and in-world training for employees on accessing Second Life and using its resources.

• Development support to create customized role-play learning experiences.

To participate in our in-world courses, learners need to create a free Second Life account and go through orientation. Our Quick Start Guide and YouTube video help reduce the learning curve. Once learners complete orientation, we can provide further training in-world.
