How is your business helping to solve the health, social, or economic challenges created by COVID19?
As a result of Covid19, businesses and educational institutions have reached out to AMRO to better understand the capabilities with leveraging virtual reality to deliver more immersive remote training as they're struggling to do so as they can no longer offer onsite training for the foreseeable future. Online and web based training does not fully satisfy the needs and requirements for successful facilitation of knowledge transfer.In response, AMRO has been working with organizations to gather business requirements and technical needs for building an online multi-user virtual reality training platform that supports remote instructional training. This would support other virtual learners in a virtual online classroom/workshop environment as well as a remote teacher/instructor to run the class lessons as well as standalone self paced training.The platform will also support group collaboration and virtual visits, extending the typical capabilities of video based conferences. We see this also support virtual therapeutics and are invested in the potential for this system to be used for digital therapy.
