| AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) | AR helps with performance support or doing tasks in the flow.
With AR, you’re still aware of your surroundings — still present in the room — and you’re using some type of device to enhance your understanding of the situation in front of you. Examples: You point a tablet at an actual car to change its color, show it speeding down a road, or explore the interior to see various options. Or, during onboarding, you point your phone to an image of the CEO on the wall and a video of her welcoming you begins to play. |
| VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) | VR is good for skill building, especially for learning tasks that are dangerous or risky, expensive to re-create or simulate, are impossible to re-create in real-world conditions to practice, or difficult to envision in a traditional learning context.
With VR, you’re wearing a headset and completely immersed or transported to a different world/environment (e.g., a manufacturing plant, an operating room, or inside a piece of equipment, etc.). You can look around in any direction; you can walk around; you can hear audio; you can talk; and you can touch things and simulate completing a task. Examples: You use VR to train someone on what to do if they’re exposed to radiation (dangerous). Or, you use VR to train people on a new piece of equipment that’s only in one location (expensive to re-create).
