AR allows companies to put employees through situations that otherwise you could not create. The viewer sees the real world through the lens, along with data, graphics, and any information an employer wants to add.

Augmented Reality: Why It Will Be a Huge Game Changer This Year

2. Virtual Reality vs. Augmented Reality
• Virtual reality or VR is a computer simulated environment. A user wears a
headset that ultimately takes them to another world. Samsung recently
released a VR headset that takes users anywhere in the gaming world, at any
time.
• Augmented reality or AR is slightly different from VR. AR allows users to see
the real world with computer generated images. AR’s abilities to alter the
real-world view make it very appealing for onboarding new employees.

3. Helping Yemen
For Yemen, specifically, this training could be used in Yemen’s oil and gas
industries. AR training allows people to track trainee’s success and measure
their training in a new way. Using AR for training also allows companies to
throw scenarios at trainees giving them a true understanding of how to handle
a dangerous situation. AR also gives employers the opportunity to provide
instruction through the glasses while employees are performing tasks.

4. Companies are already implementing it
Many companies are already recognizing the value this technology could have on their
training. A recently published article from Forbes magazine explains the future of augmented
reality in the workspace. “Not only does AR open the doors for limitless creativity and
innovation, it also enables enterprises to speed up the training process and make it more
beneficial to employees. “
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been using the software to train
employees for years. In fact, NASA has a virtual reality laboratory that recreates the vacuum of
space, here on Earth. This gives astronauts the most realistic training before doing the real
thing.

5. Brian Ballard, CEO and founder of AR company, APX Labs told
Canadian Business, “You’re giving an entire new class of workforce
— that could be five or 10 times of (the number of people) you have
people sitting at a desk — access to information,” says Ballard, who
previously worked on augmented-reality product development for the
military. “That’s fundamentally revolutionary.”
