Do you need a VR headset for immersive training?
No. Everything we build runs in a web browser, on the phones, tablets, and laptops people already have. Headsets are supported for teams that own them, but nothing requires one. Most of our clients never buy any hardware at all.
What is 360° training?
360° training uses footage captured in every direction from a real location, so a learner can look around the space as if standing in it. Information, questions, and procedures are attached to specific points in the scene, which means people learn the job where the job happens rather than from a slide about it.
What is the difference between 360°, AR, and VR training?
360° training is built from 360° video and images of a real place, and it opens in a web browser on whatever device someone already has. AR, or augmented reality, puts information on top of the real world through a phone camera, so guidance appears on the actual equipment in front of someone. VR builds a computer-generated environment and requires a headset to view it. We work in 360° and AR because neither is tied to specific hardware.
What is AR remote assistance?
AR remote assistance connects someone in the field to an expert elsewhere over live video. The expert draws directly onto the technician's camera view, and those marks stay anchored to the equipment as the camera moves. It answers the question a phone call cannot: which part, exactly.
How much does immersive training cost to produce?
It depends on how much you want us to do. Teams who film their own content need only a 360Works license, which starts at $1,599 a year. Studio production is quoted by scope: a first day of filming starts at $4,500, and a full program is priced around the number of procedures, sites, and models it has to cover. Tell us what needs covering and we will give you a figure.
Two published numbers, no project price. The license figure is already public, and the filming day is a real rate that anchors low rather than scaring anyone off. A facility-level range is deliberately left out: publishing one sets a number you then negotiate against, and it is the figure most worth keeping off a page competitors can read.
How long does it take to produce a 360° training course?
A single procedure or site is usually a few days of capture followed by production, with a first module in front of people inside a few weeks. Larger programs are scoped by site and procedure count. Teams building courses themselves on 360Works often have something running in a week.
Can immersive training work on a phone?
Yes. Courses open from a link in a mobile browser, which matters for the people who are not at a desk when they need the training: technicians in the field, operators on the floor, contractors arriving on site.
Does immersive training integrate with an LMS?
Yes. Courses publish to SCORM, and completion records and assessment scores export or push into the system you already run. No change to your existing LMS is required.
Is immersive training suitable for compliance records?
Every module records who completed it, when, and how they scored, with exports built for compliance files.
Do we need to film anything ourselves?
Not unless you want to. Our studio captures the sites and procedures and hands over a finished program. Teams who would rather do it themselves can film on a phone or a 360° camera and build in 360Works, and plenty of clients do both: studio for the first program, in-house for everything after it.
What happens when a procedure or a site changes?
You edit the module. Only a change to the physical space or the job itself calls for new footage, and even then it is usually one scene rather than the whole course.
Who owns the training you produce for us?
You do. It sits in your own account and exports with the rest of your content.
