Sending employees to in-person training sessions has always been expensive for the company (paying for travel, venue hire, accommodation, etc.) and time consuming for the employee (travelling to a venue and time away from office work), and now there poses a health risk due to Covid-19 too.In a world which is shifting to remote work and remote learning, we are focused on the future of learning and how we can use emerging technologies as a catalyst for more effective, efficient learning.Our objective is to create a collaborative, remote training tool in virtual reality (VR), which enables employees to participate in live training sessions from anywhere in the world and provides organisation with detailed metrics for ROI. The trainer and trainees would put on a VR headset from their homes, and enter a training session in VR, where they would be immersed in realistic virtual environments such as meeting rooms, a lecture theatre, and press conference. They could also upload their own presentations and notes into the session, receive instant AI-powered feedback as well as peer reviewed feedback, and trainers/ managers could monitor their progress through our analytics dashboard (which is pre-built backend and used with our existing products).Given that the majority of learning and development training is conducted face-to-face and most of this has been cancelled for at least 2020, our tool aims to help businesses transition to a remote training method. We can work with SMEs to help them adapt to (and survive) this new world of learning, as well as with larger organisations who train their employees in-house. Crucially, employees can still attend training that's essential for their personal and professional development, in an effective, experiential way and with a level of presence that can only be replicated using VR.

对公司来说，让员工参加面对面的培训课程一直都很昂贵（支付差旅费、场地租用费、住宿费等）。对于员工来说，（前往一个地点和远离办公室工作的时间），现在由于新冠肺炎也构成了健康风险。在一个转向远程工作和远程学习的世界里，我们专注于学习的未来，以及如何利用新兴技术作为更有效，高效学习的催化剂。我们的目标是创造一个协作，虚拟现实（VR）中的远程培训工具，使员工能够从世界任何地方参加现场培训课程，并为组织提供详细的ROI指标。培训师和学员将从家中戴上VR耳机，进入VR培训课程，在那里他们将沉浸在逼真的虚拟环境中，如会议室，演讲厅和新闻发布会。他们还可以将自己的演示文稿和笔记上传到会议中，接收即时的人工智能反馈以及同行评议的反馈，培训师/经理可以通过我们的分析仪表板监控他们的进度（这是预先构建的后端，并与我们现有的产品一起使用）。鉴于大多数学习和发展培训是面对面进行的，其中大部分已被取消，至少到2020年，我们的工具旨在帮助企业过渡到远程培训方法。我们可以与中小企业合作，帮助他们适应（并生存）这个新的学习世界，以及与内部培训员工的大型组织合作。至关重要的是，员工仍然可以参加对其个人和职业发展至关重要的培训，以有效的体验方式，并具有只能使用VR复制的存在水平。
