Virtual reality is transforming workplace learning by making training more efficient and cost-effective. With Meta Quest, employees can learn by doing in safe, simulated environments—practicing complex procedures, operating machinery, or preparing for high-pressure situations. We're proud to spotlight VR training applications like ForgeFX Simulations that make this possible across manufacturing, with custom VR training simulators, so workers can practice complex tasks on digital versions of real equipment. 🔋 Learn how enterprises can improve business efficiency with VR training: https://lnkd.in/eKGWjzEf

How is Virtual Therapeutics making mental healthcare more accessible and effective with Meta Quest? Virtual Therapeutics uses Meta Quest headsets for an accessible VR therapy solution. It addresses key barriers like cost and social stigma while delivering clinically proven results for stress, anxiety and depression. The company developed Breakthrough™, a VR therapy solution on the Meta Quest platform focused on improving two critical aspects of mental healthcare: access and engagement. While deploying digital tools could improve access, the other goal was encouraging people to stick to their therapy practice.

In today's evolving technological landscape, strong data security is essential for innovation. As organizations adopt immersive technologies—like virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR)—it’s critical to have security standards that span your virtual, physical and traditional ecosystems. A report from the Cyber Safety Review Board, published in March 2024, highlights this urgency and underscores the need for proactive data security governance. Let's explore how you can build these forward-thinking security practices into the core of your business. 💡 https://lnkd.in/eFFbuqni #SecurityPractices #VirtualReality #MixedReality #SecurityGovernance Tenagne Habte-Michael

How do you make complex topics come alive for students? Inspired Education Group uses mixed reality to turn abstract ideas into tangible experiences. From exploring the human body in 3D to walking through historical events, MR helps students connect deeply with their learning. As Michael Perry, Head of Primary at International School of Modena, says: “For students, mixed reality can make abstract concepts tangible... For teachers, lessons can be adapted to various learning styles and real-time data from experiences can inform instruction.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/evJFv9z4 #ImmersiveLearning #EducationInnovation #MetaForEducation

Good things happen when you get creative in mixed reality 66% of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals have used VR in the last 12 months 49% of AEC firms say that cost savings from catching issues early is the main benefit of VR 🎮 Sketch buildings, interiors, and virtual environments — all at human scale and in real time. 🗓️ Join our ISV partner Arkio live on October 15 to explore the future of creativity and design in VR. 🔍 Want to learn more about designing in virtual reality?

“VR and in-person clinical training offer different but overlapping benefits,” added Kolde. "Our research shows both educational experiences can make the difference between good and transformative outcomes.” Recent research from Nightingale College—a leader in full-distance-learning for nursing—highlights how virtual reality (VR) is reshaping academic results in nursing education. Their findings are compelling: 💡 Nursing students who use VR consistently score 5.9% higher on assignments compared to traditional methods. We’re excited to see how immersive technologies like VR are driving innovation and improving outcomes in healthcare education. The future of learning is here—and it’s transformative. #VR #NursingEducation #EdTech #MetaWorks #Innovation #Healthcare
