“To deploy, you need to have substantial content; helmets alone are not enough. That’s why we’re moving forward on both fronts simultaneously: developing more content and equipping more regions to democratize this modality .

Supporting trainers
Train them in this new modality and help them manage the technical aspects of helmet deployment.
During deployment on sites and training campuses, the digital unit provides support in using and configuring the headsets.
To do this, they use Lenovo’s Think Reality MDM platform to set up their systems on site or remotely.
Creating new VR content

The Uptale modules created by Saint-Gobain are designed to be used both as part of a training program and as stand-alone modules, enabling local entities to run much shorter events.
