Intuitive VR training makes operational errors less frequent and training available worldwide.
Training costs time, travel, and production downtime.
Production machines are expensive and almost always in use. Until now, training was only possible on real equipment, which brought about travel efforts and production interruptions. The goal was to reduce operational errors, minimize downtime, and make training easily and safely available both locally and globally.
Training where the work takes place.
We delivered a modular VR learning environment with chapters and steps, realistic risk and hazard simulations, and an information board for progress tracking. The tool allows training without real machines and makes knowledge available worldwide, reducing production downtime by up to 50% during training and cutting travel efforts by up to 80%, with noticeably safer operational processes.
A modular, realistic VR learning environment reflects work steps and hazards.
Thanks to hand tracking, grabbing, picking up, and placing feel natural, allowing users to intuitively grasp and train processes without additional controllers or complicated menus.
Hand tracking on mobile headsets made the experience credible.
From research through prototyping to launch, we transformed content from documents, videos, and expert knowledge into didactic chapters. Technically, we relied on the Oculus Quest, Unity URP, and DFFR to ensure visual quality with limited computing power. The specially developed VR-CI ensures clear readability, and the information board allows for assessment and tracking. The most important learning was that natural gestures significantly shorten learning curves.
The training is divided into didactic modules: An onboarding introduces hand tracking and the interface, core modules teach standard operations, special scenarios train risk and emergency processes, and an assessment module documents progress via the information board. Maintenance and trainer tools enable easy distribution, updates, and reporting worldwide.
From the proof-of-concept, a ready-to-use training tool emerged that enables training worldwide with just one mobile headset and natural hand movements. Companies save travel and production costs, trainees learn intuitively, and SKAN strengthens its service offering through scalable, visually consistent content.
The VR tool is ready for use worldwide and reduces learning barriers.
