Virtual simulations can be used effectively to train people for a variety of skills, and to teach people to use new technology, monitor processes and ensure best practices in the workplace. Simulation training has proven especially useful for teaching skills in the context of a particular environment. For example, simulation training can be used for demonstrating the operation of heavy equipment such as forklifts or construction equipment, and can realistically portray the challenges in driving the vehicle in and around a factory floor layout. Virtual medical simulations in online medical learning platforms can teach clinicians how to perform medical procedures with new medical devices and interventional suites.
Virtual simulations can be integrated with a wide variety of media, including live action video, 2D and/or 3D animation, voice-over narration, digital art, 3D interactive immersive environments, and text, images, and more. Remote learning can be developed into a rewarding, interactive experience, and advanced distance learning programs can simulate in-person instruction, monitor skills acquisition, and practice in realistic environments. Recent advancements such as a gamified instruction approach can create even more opportunities for remote eLearning experiences that are compelling, immersive, and informative.
Virtual simulations offer great promise for online corporate training, with unique advantages for effective and reliable employee training. For example, businesses that use heavy equipment can use highly realistic, yet risk-free virtual simulations to train their employees with processes and machinery. Construction equipment like bulldozers, backhoe loaders, and excavators, moving and operating forklifts, and more can be tested with detailed scenarios that use virtual simulations and realistic 3D computer graphics. Users can be trained and tested on their ability to start the equipment, operate the controls, and navigate through complex and heavily trafficked warehouses. Simulations can demonstrate specific steps in manufacturing line controls, and can introduce users to context specific, dedicated equipment before they operate the real thing.
Removing risk in the training process is a benefit for everyone, and virtual simulations have also proven effective in equipment maintenance and repair scenarios, especially when coupled with real time feedback in the field to address problems in real time. In an office setting, virtual corporate training simulations help employees develop soft business skills such as time management, new business acquisition, customer service, and more. DDA focuses on immersive and interactive corporate training material that enhances the experience and creates a valuable and reliable resource.
The demand for quality medical education is high, and the online medical learning industry is now at the forefront of advancements in distance learning platforms. Virtual medical simulations will likely play a key role in the immediate future of online medical learning platforms because of their ability to create enveloping, interactive learning experiences. Virtual medical simulations can create a realistic and compelling yet risk-free environment to hone skills. Setting the scene accurately and simulating equipment and procedures precisely allows clinicians to learn the details regarding the use of new medical devices and interventional suites. Online medical learning platforms can incorporate virtual medical simulations to improve a clinician’s diagnostic abilities, or provide detailed instructions for new medical procedures.
Virtual medical simulations offer effective ways for clinicians to develop their skills. Wherever precise, detailed, context-specific visual information is required, virtual simulations provide the necessary visual and procedural detail. Removing risk in the medical instruction process sharply limits liability in the course of actual clinical practice, and makes the virtual medical simulation highly attractive for the online medical learning. Remote learning programs that use virtual medical simulations establish a definitive standard of practice, which helps to both lower liability, and deliver a reliably consistent online medical learning program for a mass audience that can be verified through testing and certification. As more clinics, hospitals and other medical institutions move towards lean operational standards, virtual medical simulations will become a vital component in a medical eLearning program, with an efficient solution that doesn’t require any additional staff for direction and assessment.
DDA created its first implementation of online medical learning simulations in 2010 with the XperGuide virtual medical simulation project for Philips Healthcare. Philips Healthcare asked DDA to develop an interactive immersive environment that simulates the look and feel of an actual operating room. A live-action video delivered by a professional spokesperson in the simulated OR introduces the XperGuide, and the interventional suite is covered in detail—what it does, how it works, and how it is used. Then a passive simulation takes the trainee through the XperGuide cardiovascular procedure step by step. After the instruction process, trainees are asked to use an active simulation to reproduce the procedure themselves. The active simulation hands the controls over to the user and asks them to perform the operation according to the steps as presented in the passive instructional simulation. Users get real time feedback, and hints are offered to correct mistakes. Once the Xper guide is completed successfully, users receive a personalized certificate.
The XperGuide was very successful, and was met with an enthusiastic response. In fact, the XperGuide was named Philips Best in Class iPad App, and DDA garnered its first Tabby Award for Best iPad Healthcare App of 2012. The application has proven so compelling that doctors use the app during their lunch break.
