What is virtual reality (VR)?
For a virtual reality experience, the viewer wears a special headset or uses a web browser, allowing them to look around 360 degrees. This gives the viewer the sensation of being in another (virtual) world and immerses them in an engaging video or 3D animation experience.
VR films for technical companies
For technical companies, creating a VR film offers many possibilities. Often, it’s not feasible to physically visit a location due to accessibility limitations or safety protocols. VR serves as an excellent alternative, offering the viewer a similar experience from a controlled environment. This could benefit a business partner, an interested student, or a new employee in training.
Both animation and video can be used for VR. With 360-degree footage, a space can be filmed and then viewed through a VR headset, allowing the viewer to virtually step inside the production hall or technical space.
One advantage of using animation for VR films in technical companies is that the CAD models often needed for input are usually already available. This makes VR a great tool for concept presentations or for viewing inside a machine.
Virtual reality video for trade shows and presentations
A trade show floor is often a busy and chaotic environment, where capturing and holding a visitor's attention is challenging but essential to convey your message effectively.
With a VR headset, the viewer is isolated from their surroundings, allowing complete focus on your message. This could be an innovative product presentation, an interactive experience, or a glimpse into the production environment of tomorrow. VR is also highly effective in attracting interest, as the medium itself often generates curiosity.
In presentations, VR serves as a valuable tool, immersing attendees in a virtual environment to surprise and convince them, making your message even more impactful.
VR in training and onboarding
Using VR in the onboarding and training of new staff is an effective way to let trainees and new employees experience their work environment in advance. A high-quality VR video or animation provides an immersive experience that closely resembles reality. It allows someone to virtually navigate a confined engine room or view the height and perspective of maintenance work atop a wind turbine through the headset. This helps them better understand real-world expectations before they encounter them firsthand.
VR also offers a safe environment where mistakes can be made without any real danger. This enables employees to learn about potential risks or hazards in the workplace and how to prevent them, without these situations needing to occur in real life first.
