Testimonials

“Traditional training methods offer no guarantee to meet the standards in today’s market. We wanted to do something different. We understand that the use of virtual or augmented reality can help to enhance certain specific skills, very technical or behavioral ones.”
– Michel Gelders, Global Head of Workforce 4.0 Academy, Adecco

“People who come off VR training courses are more dependable to follow safe practices. They take ownership of their responsibilities as a driver and find confidence in their lives.”
– Andrew Stone, General manager of VR Competencies at Impac

“I think all of us instructors want that point at which the student has been out there and they’ve done that. I used to see that at about 3-5% of my students. Now, we can rapidly get that to 85-90% of the students within two weeks of class. Getting them at that same level or that same confidence level. And it’s so difficult to do when you’re working with a piece of equipment that could kill someone.”
– Clint Cowden, Dean of Hartnell Community College

“In the logistics industry one of the biggest challenges that we have is that it is really costly and it requires a lot of resources to train a forklift operator. It could take 45 hours with one trainer to train somebody and even at the end you might not in debt it. With the virtual reality forklift driver training we feel that we can reduce that down to just 12 hours. That is a huge reduction in time and resources!”
– Kristen Bevens – Division Vice President, Prologistix

“Being inside that oculus and being inside that virtual reality system is really like as real as you can get. So to have 14 simulators at one time, when you can’t have 14 forklifts, it just makes a lot of sense.”
– Christopher Wyatt – Forklift Certification Specialist
