Immersive Technology in The Workplace

Immersive Technology in The Workplace – A Study

Companies who incorporate Immersive Technology into their training, sales, and employee support operations see a dramatic increase in knowledge retention, productivity, and customer engagement as well as reduction in wastage and operating costs.  We surveyed 100 people with careers in industries including education, health care, finance, transportation, and natural resources to get their opinions on immersive technology in the workplace.

88% of those surveyed had used Immersive Technology within their workplace. Of the 12% who had not, 94% would be interested in the opportunity to try it in their workplace. The modern workforce understands the requirement of technology in the workplace, from all operations from training to sales. Those who get the opportunity to use Immersive Tech in their day to day tend to feel more confident in their work, more prepared for unexpected scenarios, and feel a higher level of overall satisfaction than those in workplaces that do not value the importance of modernizing including by adopting new tools.

Of those who had the opportunity to try Immersive Technology in their workplace, 80% felt they left their Immersive experience with a greater understanding of the subject being addressed, and felt more prepared for real-life scenarios. One comment left from a subject explained how their virtual experience interacted with all their senses, leaving them feeling more alert and responsive to their real-world environment. Immersive experiences, even if just experienced once, leave a lasting impact on the user, 90% of those who had an immersive experience at work agreed that they actively thought back to their experiences and used what they had learned later in their career. Using virtual tools, we can replicate real-world environments and scenarios, giving users the opportunity to become familiar and entirely comfortable with their tasks before attempting them in real life, which reduces accidents and costs, especially when complex machinery, equipment, and procedures are involved.

Of all those surveyed, whether they had used Immersive Technology or not, 78% believed their workplace would benefit by implementing Immersive experiences. Employees believed implementing technology would develop their sales skills, allow them to become familiar with their products and projects before launch, and help them create and develop more.
