Study into the effectiveness of VR training

 
Recent research by PwC shows that VR training methods provide 4 times more focus than e-learning and 35% more confidence about what has been learned. In this study, the results are compared with classroom learning, e-learning, v-learning. A summary:
• 40% of the v-learners saw an improvement in confidence compared to classroom learners and 35% improvement over e-learners to act on what they learned after training in VR.
• V-learning is the most cost-effective way of learning when it’s done on a large scale. At 375 learners, VR training achieved cost parity with classroom learning. At 1,950 learners, VR training achieved cost parity with e-learn. At 3,000 learners, VR costs become 52% less than classroom.
• V-learners completed training 4 times faster than classroom training.
• V-learners felt 3.75 times more emotionally connected to the content than classroom learners and 2.3 times more connected than e-learners.
• Three-quarters of learners surveyed said that during the VR course they had a wake-up-call moment and realised that they were not as inclusive as they thought they were.
• V-learners were 4 times more focused during training than their e-learning peers and 1.5 times more focused than their classroom colleagues.

Combining 3D environments and live video can have nice effects! Create immersive events, where people can walk en interact in breakout rooms, even when used as a flat”-stream in Zoom, Teams, Hangouts etc. It increases the feeling of presence.

As an example you’ll find our “practice what your preach” behind the scenes video below. Our live stream for VIVAT.

All of this can be easily configured in our Experience builder. Create slides and enrich them with 360 videos, 3D objects, sounds/music, avatar interactions and more.

Digital events

 

Your favorite spot

The music and events industry is going through difficult times. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, thousands of events around the world have been canceled, and waking up with news of cancellations has become the new norm. We want to support artists and event organizers by bringing the events virtually and indoors in a cross industry format.

We think digital cross industry events can be an accelerator for many artists, event organizers, third parties and fans.

Virtual Live Festival

Sunshine, music, beer, dance; unfortunately festivals will not be organized in the near future. However more and more technology can support us to simulate the real world and to some extend a festival…To bridge the time and the gap, we offer virtual festivals.

Your favorite spot this season. Enjoy all kinds of performances, visit different areas, login with your digital twin avatar and meet your friends. 


Experiences vary from audio, video interactive video, 360 video, 3D environments, (semi) live streams and 3D environments. It is possible to switch to different devices with 1 account; smartphone, smartphone VR, pc, VR / AR headset and even an interactive 4D cabin. Thanks to integrated payment modules, it is also possible to make virtual purchases and donations at different levels – before, during or after an event or experience. For example, order pizza or beer at the virtual bar, buy merchandise or support your favorite artist. The products are delivered to your home in real life (the beer during the festival, with a slight delay 😉). 

The virtual festival is a great starting point for a festival edition in real life, when large events are allowed again. View the options in the videos below.

De muziek- en evenementenindustrie maakt moeilijke tijden door. Sinds het begin van de pandemie zijn duizenden evenementen over de hele wereld geannuleerd en is het wakker worden met het nieuws van annuleringen en uitstel de nieuwe norm geworden. Wij willen artiesten en organisatoren van evenementen ondersteunen door de evenementen virtueel en binnenshuis te brengen in een cross industry format.

We denken dat Spotify de verbinder kan zijn voor de vele artiesten, organisatoren van evenementen en fans.

Spotify Virtual Festival: Spotival

Spotival is een virtueel festival waar je kan genieten van optredens van allerlei artiesten, verschillende area’s kan bezoeken en je vrienden kan ontmoeten. 


Belevingen variëren van audio, video interactieve video, 360 video, 3D omgevingen, (semi) livestreams en 3D omgevingen. Het is mogelijk om met 1 account te switchen naar verschillende devices; smartphone, smartphone VR, pc, VR/AR headset en zelfs een interactieve 4D cabine. Ook is het dankzij geïntegreerde betalingsmodules mogelijk om op verschillende niveaus – voor, tijdens of na een evenement of beleving – virtuele aankopen en donaties te doen. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan een biertje kopen aan de virtuele bar (die ook daadwerkelijk thuis bezorgd wordt, met een kleine vertraging 😉 tot een t-shirt van je favoriete artiest. 

Het virtuele Spotival is tevens een mooie start van een Spotival editie in real life, wanneer de evenementen weer toegestaan zijn. Bekijk in de onderstaande video’s de mogelijkheden.

Interview Silicon Canal with female co-founder CoVince

 

7 successful female founders share their best tips on launching a tech startup


Silicon Canals: “With International Women’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to shine the spotlight on some female founders currently making massive waves. These 7 female founders managed to secure a spot in the top 10 of the Blue Tulip Awards. This competition is a year-round programme aiming to accelerate and drive breakthrough innovation. We asked them about their innovation, how they got into the game and what their advice is for others that want to succeed.”

Co-Founder Melanie van Halteren shares her tips for starting a tech company: “Nowadays we have the possibility to create a better world together using new technologies. CoVince founder Melanie van Halteren thinks today’s challenges are no longer exclusive to one region or country. Instead we are all equally responsible for becoming a part of the solution. That’s why she started her distribution and content creation platform with configurable VR, AR, AI and mobile-building blocks. I’m convinced that emerging technologies can help us achieve a better world but I experienced that even today it’s only available for a select group. I want to bridge the gap and make learning with immersive technologies accessible and affordable for everyone. For small businesses, the self-employed, corporations, young, old, rich, poor, physically or mentally healthy or challenged. With CoVince I really think we can accelerate people’s development by making it fun and effective.

To achieve success in the startup world, she wants female founders to not let existing structures and visions stop them. “You can always create your own role and add your own value. Create collaborations between people, expertise and tech. If you feel responsible for other people’s business as if it were your own, you’ll act accordingly and create valuable collaborations. Finally, listen to each other with attention and respect, but don’t get distracted by all the advice you get. Stay determined and follow your own path.”
