Walmart, Chipotle are training employees using virtual reality. Strivr makes it happen.

Virtual reality company Strivr, based in San Francisco with a Nashville office, has been building clients for its sports training capabilities since 2015. But now the company, generating $10 million in annual revenue, is expanding to a more lucrative line of business: corporate training.

Among Strivr's corporate clients are Chipotle, Fidelity, BMW, Bank of America and Walmart. Companies' new hires can learn and train with a virtual reality headset that places them in their job site, allowing them to practice methods or identify issues they may face on the job.  The trainees can go through a series of scenarios to help them prepare for the actual workplace.
