From The Future CEO releases How Virtual Reality Will Revolutionize Training and Education ebook

What do I need to know? The chief executive officer VR training developer From the Future, Mike Christian, has written an educational ebook about the solutions and benefits that the immersive technology can provide to students and educators.

What does the ebook cover? Christian goes into detail about the potential impact of immersive learning from the digitisation of formal approaches to education, such as learning by doing, to gifting students and instructors with virtual superpowers.

What is the author’s background? How Virtual Reality Will Revolutionize Training and Education was written from a futurist’s perspective. Christian draws on decades of experience creating virtual worlds and developing VR experiences and apps for training, therapy, and rehabilitation to clearly communicate the potential of this new medium. Readers will not only learn how VR will enhance training and education but also how it might hold the key to developing heightened intelligence.

How do I get hold of a copy? The How Virtual Reality Will Revolutionize Training and Education ebook is available now. To request your free copy and learn more about VR, visit the From The Future website. Watch the launch trailer for the ebook below.

Key quote from Christian: “It takes quite a while, and quite a lot of iterations to create a mental model when you are trying to learn. In virtual reality, all of that is done for you. Education that takes weeks could take days, education that takes days could take hours, or even minutes.”

IrisVR creates end-to-end coordination for AEC teams with immersive issue tracking feature

What do I need to know? VR and AR collaboration providers IrisVR and The Wild, which acquired the company earlier this year, are supporting immersive end-to-end issue tracking in IrisVR’s flagship product, Prospect. This product update allows for a full-cycle coordination workflow for building teams working with 3D models such as Revit and Navisworks. This will be the product’s first release in 2021.

Why is issue tracking so important? In the architecture, engineering and construction sector, tracking issues at human-scale in VR is critical for catching design issues and reducing costly requests for information before construction even begins. Not long ago, engineering and construction teams used to be able to gather around a conference room table, but with the majority of professionals still working remotely, VR makes it possible to capture issues, feedback, and decisions in one centralised place.

Where can I find out more? IrisVR has written this useful blog post explaining the update and what designers and engineers can achieve while working in VR. With this latest release, Prospect by IrisVR now also supports Navisworks 2022, Revit 2022, and SketchUp 2021. You can also watch the video below to find out more.

Key quote from Michael Black, a BIM coordinator at SNC Lavalin and user of Prospect: “[U]sing Prospect has significantly improved the quality of our interdisciplinary coordination and early issue detection identification between design, construction, and maintenance.”
