VR/AR and Simulation in Practice: Real-World Project Showcases for L&D
Immersive simulations are transforming how we learn and build skills. This SweetRush showcase dives into the power of immersive simulations with real-world examples.
Emily Dale, immersive learning strategist, and Danielle Silver, solution architect, explore how simulations inspire change and enhance retention within these three key strategies: embodied practice, for hands-on skill building situational awareness, improving decision-making in realistic scenarios; and volumetric visualization, simplifying complex concepts with 3D visuals.
In this session, you will:
- Learn how embodied practice accelerates skill building and confidence.
- Explore how situational awareness training sharpens critical thinking and decisions.
- See how 3D visualization improves understanding of complex topics.
- Gain actionable strategies for creating impactful simulations tailored to diverse learning needs.
