Virtual Worlds

Why use a Virtual World?

Our clients find that the 3D environment of a Virtual World offers more intuitive relationship-centric approach to information. This improved context makes it easier for their employees to navigate, locate information, retain knowledge, and communicate.

The Virtual World environments we develop for our clients are particularly effective in supporting situations requiring collaboration, use of simulations, or where training and instruction are being deployed; and may be unsafe in the real world (e.g. fire safety, oil refinery, steel works, mining environment). Furthermore, the use of 3D interactive game principles in our clients Virtual Worlds has proven enhanced engagement and allowed staff to operate in a "safe zone" where role playing is easy and innovation is encouraged. Virtual Worlds also provide a private place for new hires to practice, make mistakes and learn essential tools and tricks of the trade, whatever the job application.

Another key advantage is that learners are able to access training and instruction as needed, leave, and return to continue at a later time, without any negative consequences.

Our clients know and recognize that digital natives and gamers are entering the workforce. By incorporating Virtual World applications where appropriate, you can offer your teams a full complement of tools that provide relevant content and functionality for a host of applications.
