Sectors where simulators and virtual reality platforms are used
Virtual reality platforms have the ability to recreate a multitude of scenarios.
Although its most recognizable use is in entertainment and video games, tools such as virtual reality platforms have very interesting applications in sectors as different as sports, marketing, industry or healthcare.
The video game sector is where virtual reality stands out the most.
The use of Oculus Rift or HTC Vive goggles, as well as virtual reality platforms, is becoming more and more widespread among developers and consumers.
Thanks to virtual reality simulators, the player can drive a Formula 1 car in Monte Carlo or land on the very beaches of Normandy during World War II.
And all this with unprecedented immersive capabilities, in scenarios recreated with maximum fidelity.
The high gamification offered by these systems also makes them ideal for improving sports performance.
In 2006, the Wii console revolutionized the way people played sports at home thanks to video games such as Wii Sports.
Thanks to VR simulators, users can move to real sports scenarios, such as gyms or the streets of New York to practice running.
In this way, users will be able to do sports and improve their health from the comfort of their living room and while competing with their family and friends.
Simulators can also recreate the streets of the Big Apple for tourism purposes. Climbing the Statue of Liberty, camping in Central Park, visiting the Museum of Natural History…
Thanks to virtual reality, users can go anywhere in the world… and beyond?
Maybe the first sightseeing tours to the Moon will be available through virtual reality!
This ability to recreate any environment and situation makes virtual reality platforms especially useful in the training of professionals in a multitude of fields.
In real life, how can a firefighter prepare for a real fire situation?
There are certain scenarios that are too dangerous or too complex to be reproduced in the physical environment.
Virtual reality simulators also allow the generation of tests to improve worker productivity, as well as activities focused on teamwork and team building.
In addition, programs such as TwoReality’s Serious Game offer experiential learning tools through interactive role play sessions using virtual reality.
Saving lives through virtual reality simulators?
Healthcare is another sector where virtual reality simulators make a difference.
Thanks to these devices, an operating room can be recreated to train surgical personnel.
Virtual reality platforms also make it possible to recreate health emergency situations, another scenario that is difficult to recreate in the physical environment.
On the other hand, the ability to simulate real environments offers training possibilities for ambulance drivers.
Virtual reality simulators can also be used to optimize work in the industrial sector.
VR tools offer interactive warehouse management systems.
Through the use of VR glasses in combination with software, comprehensive, 360° warehouse management can be performed from the comfort of a screen.
Similarly, virtual reality can also be used for training in various industrial processes,
ranging from working on an assembly line to driving industrial machinery in a mining excavation.
Go to the supermarket in your pajamas and without leaving the house.
Is it possible to make the monthly purchase without queuing up and at any time of the day?
The answer is yes, thanks to virtual reality.
Virtual reality platforms allow the user to move freely through the aisles of the hypermarket, choose the desired products and, without the need to wait in line, pay for the products and have them delivered to their home.
And all this, from the comfort of your living room.
Finally, virtual reality simulators are an ideal tool for companies to present their new products.
Thanks to virtual reality platforms, potential consumers can interact with the product through virtual experiences.
In addition, these types of virtual presentations are also ideal for revitalizing booths at events, trade shows and conferences.
These types of interactive experiences are very useful for attracting audiences and, ultimately, potential consumers.
