Collaborating with partners Amarant and NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences, VR Bieb focuses on leveraging VR technology for scalable and impactful training experiences for a variety of different clients.
VR Bieb originated from a need to deploy new technologies such as VR in an optimal and impactful way, with scalability and affordability in mind. As it’s often a challenge for healthcare organizations to get started with VR, The company works with a community of 30+ organizations to discover learning needs as a basis for new content development. The company has its own production team responsible for activities like script development, recording and editing.
Healthcare training faces a number of difficulties that traditional training has failed to address:
The growing need for healthcare professionals combined with the many needs that patients have makes training difficult. Traditional book learning rarely prepares workers for real-life situations and interactions, meaning that they have to essentially be retrained upon being hired. This all creates a major drain on training resources and financial strain - one of the main reasons that the healthcare industry frequently adopts 360 video for training.
VR Bieb addresses the specific challenges of traditional healthcare training through innovative VR technology:
Popular topics include conflict management with family, triage (where players can take on different roles), complex behavior, and dementia. Visit the VR Bieb website for a complete overview.
A few examples:
Modules can be preloaded onto Pico VR headsets in kiosk mode without controllers, which makes it more accessible for healthcare organizations to access VR training.
With training analytics, HR leaders are able to uncover valuable insights on behavior, performance, and situational readiness of trainees. These insights can be used for example in classroom discussions.
