Welcome to the future of learning – Immersive Technologies as ideal tool for your staff training
It is proven: both immersion and engagement of virtual reality offer superior results versus traditional learning alternatives. According to a study by the National Training Laboratory, virtual reality learning guarantees an effectiveness of 75%, compared to the 5% of a traditional lecture. If combined with augmented reality field training & mentoring, the learning process can be improved by up to 90%.

AnotheReality has developed a proprietary Simulation & Training platform: VIRTUADEMY
Corporations are using XR (AR/VR) to solve real problems and gain competitive advantage. Leading companies are using AR smart glasses to help their industrial digital workers to complete tasks faster and more efficiently; design and engineering studios use VR headsets to streamline their processes, through the adoption of realistic prototyping and mock-ups; analysts use 3D data visualization to find patterns and get better insights from numbers.

Customer & Employee experience and interactions
Whether you are an agency looking for creative innovation, or a company looking for innovative ways of presenting your new launches, XR may be the right solution for you. This technology is now ready to go beyond the “wow” effect, and if applied correctly can guarantee an average increase of + 30% in engagement and click-though. Websites, mobile apps, catalogues, sample sets… may quickly become a heritage of the past?

The future of e-commerce and B2B selling tools
Use immersive storytelling to explore the narrative universe of your brand, or the power of holograms to explore spaces and products with full real time personalization. Enhance your ecommerce experience with XR, or evolve your after-sales customer interaction with your dedicated chatbot. Are you ready?
