DiSTI, a provider of leading solutions for embedded UI, HMI software, and virtual maintenance training, recently announced a new partnership with Design Interactive. The two companies will now be working in tandem on the creation of VE mentor. Design Interactive is an engineering firm specializing in the development of innovative mixed, virtual, and augmented reality solutions.
The VE mentor product created by DiSTI and Design Interactive will deliver a crossover integration between two best-of-breed solutions from the brands.
VE Mentor is a cross-over solution between the DiSTI VE studio classroom platform for training and the AUGMENTOR hands-on solution for training from Design Interactive. The VE Studio service delivers hands-on training experiences through virtual reality to ensure better engagement and immersion. The relational database system can correlate all requirements necessary to empower students with more meaningful learning experiences.
The AUGMENTOR solution rom Design Interactive places information on or near the equipment that employees are using, to provide guidance in a way that’s easy to follow and sequential. With authoring functionality, experts can embed animated holograms into training scenarios, leave virtual sticky notes for teams, and even create videos.
Better Training with VE Mentor
The combination of the two technologies can engage students, improve training, and save on resource usage, allowing students to train at a pace that suits them. Benefits include:
- Better development innovation: Developers can create custom content once and share it on a selection of platforms, reducing the path to market for hands-on training.
- Transforming classrooms: Amplifying classroom training is easy with immersive 3D training technologies improving spatial recognition and knowledge retention.
- Revolutionizing learning: The VE Mentor brings unique and adaptable training experiences into the classroom using repeatable, simple processes, keeping content current.
- Amplified opportunities: Users can expand their access to hands-on training in mixed-reality environment with capabilities that make it easy to distribute content on demand.
According to DiSTI, there’s a direct connection between operational readiness and maintenance efficiency in the modern landscape. This is putting companies under increased pressure to improve the quality and effectiveness of maintainer training.
The acceptance and spread of augmented and virtual reality technologies have made effective training tools a must-have for modern business leaders.
A New Kind of MR Training
The VE Mentor solution ensures that developers can easily bring unique training experiences into the classroom, delivering hands-on and immersive opportunities to hone skills. The VE Mentor system also closes the loop on effective and efficient maintenance training, by collecting data that will allow team leaders to assess the successful adoption of learning opportunities.
By bringing VE Studio and AUGMENTOR together, Design Interactive and DiSTI are introducing today’s teams to a unique strategy for business growth. Creating hands-on training experiences that appeal to the specific needs of your front-line workers has never been easier. With the combined technologies, companies can even reduce the risks that employees face when engaging in dangerous training environments or working with certain pieces of equipment.
The technology available will be particularly useful for military and other front-line training environments where it’s crucial for team members to develop accurate and safe responses to a range of situations. However, the same tools could also help to reduce the use of excess resources in other environments too, like industry 4.o and manufacturing industries.
