The One Reason Why Many Millennials Would Use Virtual Reality Products At Work
Better training opportunities
The above study reported that 66% of millennials believe that VR for training purposes will allow them to train from anywhere and on their own time schedules. And AR/VR training experiences, because of their realistic nature, provide a realistic experience for those involved in the training.
Improved collaboration and virtual sharing
The current “buzzword” of collaboration refers to the concept that people working in collaborative teams can accomplish more in a shorter period of time. And in the contemporary corporate world, remote workers are becoming more and more common.
Developing and testing new ideas
Consider automobile design engineers as just one example. Designs can be tested in virtual reality environments, so that the actual user experience can be evaluated. This is also true for the real estate industry.
Organizational improvement
Many offices still “live” in a paper world – files, post-it notes, papers, etc. And, even when digital “paper” is used, it is in the form of email and document attachments that require devices to open them and print them out. Suppose, instead, that information and data could all be accessed and just swiped through with finger flicks?
After all, 83% of millennials say that workplace setting, furniture and tech has an impact on their decision to take a new job and up to 42% say that they will quit a job with substandard tech.
Improved focus and privacy
Donning a VR headset can allow employees to place themselves in a virtual environment that “works” for them. Some may prefer a beach with the sounds and sights of the ocean; others may prefer a quiet coffee shop or library. VR allows employees to set up their ideal work environment that allows them to focus more on the tasks at hand.
Recess time
We all remember our recess times at school. It allowed us to shed the challenges and anxieties of the classroom and just “blow off some steam” in total non-academic activity. After that type of break, we were better able to focus on the upcoming instruction.
