Virtual reality increases on-the-job confidence

Article Abstract:

The use of virtual-reality training in the manufacturing industry is gaining popularity. Motorola Corp, for instance, which has used the training since 1994, has relied on the technology's advantages. Virtual reality training allows users to learn by working in a computer-simulated environment, thus reducing training costs while providing employees the chance to operate various machines. Employees are then given an overview of what to expect because the simulated environment allows them to learn how to start, run and stop the machine and troubleshoot problems.
