Pixvana Creates Virtual Reality Training Experience to Prepare Businesses for Active Shooters in the Workplace

Pixvana, a virtual reality (VR) solutions provider specializing in corporate learning and training, and Alexo, experts in tactical training to counter workplace violence, today announced the release of a VR experience intended to prepare any workplace for an active shooter event. The Active Shooter Response training experience utilizes VR’s immersive powers to enable learners to practice situational awareness, increase readiness, and quicken reaction and response.

The VR training video features Alexo’s founder, Drew Hancock, a Seattle police officer and SWAT Supervisor with more than 25 years of law enforcement experience. Through the VR training, Hancock is able to effectively teach important decision-making strategies and simulate life-saving tactics for employees. Interactive quizzes during and after the program, ensure that employees are prepared and confident in their understanding of the curriculum.

The VR video reinforces critical protocols taught by Alexo, including two simple acronyms, “OODA” (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) and “ABC” (Avoid, Barricade, or Combat).

The active shooter training experience is available to businesses everywhere - and for a small incremental investment, companies can augment the core curriculum with tailored VR content that fits their specific location, layout, or industry.
