Presenting training materials in the form of a game promotes subject matter retention on a deeper level than can be achieved through rote memorization. The content is organized into a sequential narrative, allowing the user to recall information more easily. Additionally, the user's focus on the game allows them to learn as they play without being required to study. Finally, by promoting engagement using fun mechanics and themes, users are more motivated and spend more time learning on average, compared to traditional learning methods. Also, the content is retained at higher rates due to the association with emotions.
Gamified training offers the following benefits:
Virtual Reality (VR) and Agumented Reality (AR) are tools to bolster the effectiveness of skill-based training. They provide the user with either partial or total virtual visuals. This helps to close the gap between training and real-world practice.
VR provides completely-immersive visuals to aid in visualizing and gaining familarity with a specific environment. It also reduces distractions as the user's field of view is entirely utilized. It is incredibly useful to utilize VR to tailor the training enviroment to look and act just like it's real-world counterpart.
AR functions differently from VR in that the user's field of view is only partially utilized. The goal of AR is to enhance the user's interaction with real-world devices as well as to provide contextual information to better understand and interact. AR visuals typically consist of static overlays to provide information (notifications, menus, videos, infographics, data, etc.) and smart overlays that react to what the user is currently viewing (spacial identifiers, highlighting visual details, hiding visual details, etc.).
