Key Features and Benefits:

VR has many different things to offer the commercial world. In this portion of the presentation, we will
be talking about the actual product that VR is and what features and benefits it may have.
A few key features of VR I believe would be essential in the workforce are:
1. Immersion
2. Multi-user collaboration
3. Simulated environments
VR can provide the user with a fully immersive experience; this is done by simulating a three-
dimensional world or environment and allows the user to interact with content in the virtual world or
environment.
Multi-user collaboration is important as it would allow many people to work on the same digital reality.
For example, if we are all using VR and I pull up a digital graph, we would all be able to see and interact
with it. This is an important feature because it can allow a whole team of people to interact with the same
digital environment.
Simulated environments are a key feature because it can allow you simulate any environment you choose.
Companies can use these environments to their advantage and simulate training courses in real time. This
way new hires can get hands on experience which can be valuable in their onboarding journey.
A few key benefits of VR include:
1. Remote Collaboration
2. Virtual Training
3. Design and Creative Freedom
Remote collaboration is a very important benefit in today’s world as we have been seeing an upward trend
in remote work. VR allows for virtual meetings and allows you to simulate an office environment. You
would also be able to see your coworker. Meetings in virtual reality will feel a bit more interactive as
opposed to zoom meetings as you will feel like you are in the office in a conference room.
Virtual training is one of the benefits that I think would be the first way they would implement VR into
the workforce. Simulated training can be a massive asset for companies and their onboarding processes.
Simulated training can provide new hires with valuable hands-on experience in a lot of different
industries.
Design and creative freedom are an important benefit to VR because it highlights how much is possible
with virtual reality. Industries such as architecture and engineering can simulate designs and try new
innovative ideas. The creative freedom VR brings can be a game changer as anything is possible in VR.

SWOT Analysis:
A SWOT analysis highlights the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for a product. We have
conducted a SWOT analysis for VR and the results are as follows:
Strengths:
  Training and simulation: training can be made easy and effective and can create an efficient
onboarding system for firms.
 Innovation: VR is innovation and can help create innovative ideas using simulations in different
industries.
 Engagement and interactivity: interacting with an environment makes the user more engaged and
attentive.
Weaknesses:

 Hardware costs: VR technology can be expensive to implement.

 Education and training: significant opportunities for training and education in the form of hands-
on experience and interactive learning.
 Remote work: remote work can be made better by VR as an office space can be simulated which
may help the workers feel more engaged while working from home.
 E-Commerce: VR can help retailers by having customers immersed in a shopping experience, by
creating virtual showrooms etc.
Threats:

 Competition: there are many different hardware companies and software developers who are
delving into the VR space which can affect pricing and market share
 Regulatory Threats: VR can face challenges with privacy, content moderation and safety in
general which can lead to legal uncertainty. Restrictions may need to be implemented in this case.
 Skepticism: VR can and is facing resistance from consumers, businesses, and investors due to
doubts about its implementation and practicality.

Roadmap:
In this part of the presentation, we will present a roadmap on the implementation of VR into the work
force.
Year 1:
Planning and assessment: planning and assessment is crucial to the implementation of VR because it will
outline the needs and challenges for an industry.
Demo and concept: Creating a demo for how the system might work and a concept will be essential in
seeing how the system might work with a specific industry. Can be considered a prototype.
Hardware and setup: organizing and obtaining necessary hardware and implementing the software.
Training IT staff to deal with issues with the software or hardware, maintenance procedures, and just
general troubleshooting.
Year 2:
Scaling and Expansion: Scaling and expanding the technology to other departments and locations within a
company.
Integration: integrating VR into already existing workflows and processes which can maximize efficiency.
Custom Content Development: Creating custom company specific content specific to that industry to start
creating immersive VR training modules and subject matter.
Year 3:
Performance and Optimization: Adding performance monitoring and analytics to track usage and impact
on the company and workforce. This can allow us to see trends and patterns and further improve the use
of technology.
Partnerships: We can start creating partnerships with VR software vendors to further research and
innovation, and to keep up with forums and keeping up with technological advancements for VR.
Year 4:
Scaling and Optimization: Scaling VR deployment to all necessary departments and locations and
creating standards for hardware and software. Optimizing the software, training, and efficiency using
feedback from users and keeping up with research.
Culture Transformation: Creating a culture of technological innovation and collaboration, creating change
in the workforce, and allowing employees to be creative with the use of VR.
Future Roadmap: Creating a plan on how to further implement VR and investing in research and
development.
