Hardware

This can be done via the main Settings or Quick Settings options in the main menu of the headset, look out for the WI-FI symbol.

It requires approximately 2.5 hours to fully charge the VR headset for a full session.

If you’re wanting or needing to adjust the language for the device, just head to Settings > Language in the device, then select from the dropdown menu.

Can I use the VR headset outdoors?

No, we do not recommend using the VR headset outdoors as direct sunlight can damage the lenses. To protect the lenses, always cover and store the headset safely when not in use.

Can I wear glasses when using the Headset?

Yes, you can. Place the headset on like goggles and remove the headset carefully by loosening the straps. However, please note that bi-focal lenses do not work with VR headsets. If you’re having any difficulties, please consult your training leader or SkillsVR for assistance.

Virtual Reality Training

How long should learners spend in the VR headset?

We typically advise 30 minutes in the headset and then to break for 10-15 minutes between sessions. However, you must continue to check in on the learners and ensure that they are comfortable and engaged. Also, make sure that regular breaks in between learning modules are applied.

What should the size of the training area be?

You should designate a room with sufficient space (minimum of 2x2m with recommended space being 3x3m per person), this will ensure both user safety and an immersive experience without any restrictions.

Taking care of your VR equipment

Keep the VR equipment plugged into the power source and connected to reliable, secure Wi-Fi (or mobile hotspot) while in the room. It is important to use an anti-bacterial wipe on the headset after each learner and power down the headset after a day of usage, as this prevents overheating.

What if the learner feels disoriented at any stage?

If a learner experiences discomfort, nausea, or any sort of disorientation while using the VR headset, have the learner take off the headset immediately. Find fresh air, sit down, drink some water, or splash your face to feel better.

Is it common to get disorientated or feel sick?

It isn’t frequent, but it can happen, especially for first-time users who aren’t used to the VR experience. However, SkillsVR training modules are created to minimize, if not eliminate, interactions within the VR environment that may cause motion sickness.

The Enterprise Platform

How do I measure training effectiveness in using VR?

Every significant interaction within the VR training module is mapped to a learning outcome’s performance criteria via the learning record. You can measure competency gained via VR training on an individual or organizational level via the reporting system on SkillsVR Enterprise.

How do you fit so many learning outcomes in a short period of time?

Each SkillsVR training module tackles three to four primary learning outcomes, which are set in stone early in the learning design process via the learning record. These primary learning outcomes are directly addressed in the VR experience, while secondary outcomes are woven into the experience as efficiently as possible.

Can I integrate the SkillsVR Ecosystem with my existing LMS?

Yes, this can be achieved via API Integration. Please contact us directly to set this up.

What are my options for building a custom VR training module?

Please get in touch with us to speak to one of our sales team members. As this varies for each request, they will arrange a consultation with you to uncover the best solution for your needs and provide an obligation-free quote.

How long does it take to create a new SkillsVR training module?

SkillsVR module development takes 1 to 3 months, depending on the training content and the amount of CG required.

Does it cost to upload new training modules?

There is no associated cost with uploading training content to the Enterprise platform.
