VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCES

Interactive Virtual Reality experiences puts our learners at the centre of the action, providing a unique and memorable experience that traditional training videos cannot match. Virtual realities are designed for our interaction for very specific reasons to create experiences not otherwise possible.

Virtual reality will allow us to create any environment for simulated interactions and at Embark Learning we are using top of the range equipment to bring you the best, possible experience. Virtual reality allows learners to gain knowledge, whilst building experience by ‘learning through practice’ without inconvenience. It also gives learners the ability to revisit scenarios at their own pace.

The 360 videos in addition helps learners gain a new perspective, it provides a unique way of empathising with service users and understand what it feels like for them in everyday life. It encourages learners to reflect on their practice when out in the field and offers a new insight that cannot be achieved without Virtual Reality.
