Metaverse and Immersive Technology for Business

Virtual and augmented reality have found durable commercial use in training, maintenance support, design review and remote inspection, while the broader consumer metaverse has not met the expectations set for it. This course separates the two. Delegates cover the hardware and platform landscape, immersive training and simulation where the return is measurable, augmented reality for field maintenance and inspection, spatial design review, and the content production pipeline and its real cost. Attention is given to accessibility, safety and the health considerations of extended headset use, and to evaluating a vendor proposal against a defined business outcome rather than a demonstration.

Course objectives

  • Map the current hardware, platform and content landscape
  • Identify the applications with a measurable return and those without one
  • Design an immersive training or simulation use case
  • Assess augmented reality for field maintenance, inspection and remote support
  • Estimate the true cost of the content production pipeline
  • Address accessibility, safety and health considerations for headset use
  • Evaluate a vendor proposal against a defined business outcome

Who should attend

  • Learning and development and training managers
  • Operations, maintenance and field service leads
  • Innovation and digital transformation professionals
  • Design, engineering and product teams
