From words to action
The project involved moving from strictly paper-based training to VR training app that would best reflect the reality that the worker would face in the future. The sectors that our client represents are often struggling with one problem – a large human resources' fluctuation.
Many employees, which is needed to support large logistics centers, require appropriate training. The preparation and training of new employees require that you familiarize yourself with the work system in specific positions and that you will appreciate the decline in efficiency of activities.
The challenge the client set us with was to use VR training app to eliminate downtime during work and make employees aware of what their work will be. The work on the sorting plant should be divided into three main modules, each of which will concern training at a different position.

The application is so promising that the client plans to implement further modules, for other positions or similar training, for other devices. Not only PC VR, but also VR standalone.
