How Komatsu Implemented VR Training
Leveraging the strengths of a large organisation, Komatsu has taken a diverse and effective approach to the rollout of their VR training. They have employed a range of methods throughout their two Australian training locations, from group training sessions to one-on-one learning. Komatsu has also reported great utilisation of Next World’s multi-viewer hardware.
"The traditional way of learning, which has been through textbook and structured learning programs, obviously leaves gaps in learning capability, so being able to have a portable tool that we can send to a worker before they complete a dangerous or new task, to fill those knowledge gaps, is a super powerful tool for Komatsu moving forwards."
Komatsu’s Custom Builds
On top of access to Next World’s course library, Komatsu have expanded their library to include x4 custom built VR course; x1 successfully delivered, x1 in development phase , and x2 additional courses in the pipeline. These custom builds have allowed Komatsu to create extremely specific learning outcomes for their workforce.
