Are you curious about the reality of virtual reality (VR) training? If you think VR courses are costly, complicated and always require a headset, get ready for a reality check with facts to prove it.

Different clients from different industries all had different learning objectives, yet they have one thing in common: They achieved extraordinary outcomes with VR — including a 400% return on investment (ROI) and $588,000 in savings.

Join John Blackmon, chief technology officer of ELB Learning, to see real client examples with data and how their courses were created.

In this interactive session, attendees will learn:

• Why VR is becoming mainstream and getting better results than eLearning.
• How immersive learning is created, delivered and how stats are calculated.
• How to get started.
