The future of learning:
Virtual reality training spaces

At Cordenka, prior to the use of automated guided vehicles, thorough training of the designated staff is necessary, e.g. with tasks like the change of the battery pack on the electrically powered, driverless systems. Knowledge of the routes taken by the vehicles is also essential. A bachelor thesis investigated usefulness of implementing this process in a VR headsets, improving the speed, effectiveness and efficiency of learning. Oculus Quest VR headsets were used to provide the training. These devices allow workers to master the training by immersing themselves in a virtual world and learning all the relevant aspects in a ‚tangible‘ setting, before approaching the product in real life. Participants can complete various exercises and test scenarios without any danger or harm. The proprietary software joins 3D models, 2D texts and 180° stereoscopic videos in such a way to enable „learning by watching“ and „learning by imitation“.
