During the development of over fifty virtual reality experiences and games, we soon realized the true potential of this new medium to significantly change how people will be able to learn. This realization was so compelling that we made it our mission to create the very best in immersive learning software, equipped to meet the training and educational challenges we face in the real world.

Education and training in the last 100 years has fundamentally remained the same where many students have been passive learners with the only measurable insight into results coming from testing. On the job training is limited in time, available trainers, and equipment. High risk jobs have difficulty in effectively training for rare, adverse, and dangerous scenarios. 

FTF worked with clients to create VR training based on existing CBT (Computer Based Training). This approach was a combination of up front video lessons followed by a simulation of the scenarios being trained on. While the approach was successful in advancing the training significantly, the company could envision an even more effective and compelling approach,  Thus was born the next generation of VR training and education software, the DRIVE and Hololab platforms. This approach increased the efficiency of implementation and effectiveness of the learning by seamlessly integrating existing learning content with advanced, hands-on learning activities and simulations.

Success requires all hands on deck. Trainers, teachers, consultants, investors, therapists, salespersons, executives, industry leaders, visionaries, speakers, writers, the list goes on. Critics, as usual, will have the easier job of pointing out what doesn’t work, but that too can be a valuable contribution, when the path is forward, and after problems have been addressed.

We hope you are at least half as excited as we are about the future of VR training and education. The sensation is like standing on a mountain of potential and seeing the impact that you could have laid out in a valley before you. Like explorers coming off that mountain, we are looking forward to the discoveries and the paths that we take in finding new ways to benefit people. Whether it’s to help a person do their job more safely on a construction site or enable a person that has autism to elevate themselves enough to have a job and function well in society, the possibilities are endless. 

FTF is committed to improve learning through immersive technologies such as virtual reality. Will you join us?
