VR learning- workplace safety training.

The client- Lifeways is the UK’s leading team of adult support services. They help lead more fulfilling, independent lives by providing extraordinary support for adults with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries or mental health needs.

The product- Captivate Reality partnered up with Lifeways to design and develop a VR training application. The app delivers course material on workplace safety to staff.

The challenge- A more innovative & enjoyable method of training was requested to help improve recall and retention rates. We were also advised that the trainers delivering this programme would require a portable, easy-to-use solution. This was due to training being held at different site locations.

  The experience- We identified that VR would be perfect for getting Lifeway's employees to train and reduce their current learning processes. We built an easy-to-use software solution paired with wireless VR headsets. Compact transport cases made the overall training programme easily deliverable at any site location. Gamification tactics were used to create a sense of reality, this helped employees learn in real time. By using these techniques, we developed a highly engaging learning experience that had test elements incorporated.

Scope of work- The app was built in an 8-week timeframe consisting of 2 week of creative & strategy, 4 weeks of app development and 2 week for testing, amending and app deployment.
