AIDAR in the media: September 2022

10/10/2022

New technologies help acquire practical skills in the virtual world of the industrial metaverse. We recommend selected articles about the benefits of VR training and company development in the three-dimensional metaverse space, which appeared in Polish media in September 2022.

Training increasingly often via the internet

Even employers who previously favored traditional classroom courses are becoming convinced of online learning, especially since new technologies also help acquire practical skills in the virtual world. The technology for virtual training in Jawor was provided by the Polish company Aidar, which specializes in, among other things, virtual reality (VR) solutions for training industrial workers. It creates work environment simulators that allow immersion in the so-called metaverse, a three-dimensional world – artificial, but perceived as real.

As Przemysław Maliszewski, CEO and co-founder of Aidar explains, immersive technologies allow for achieving effects unavailable with traditional training methods. They allow employees to practice in the virtual world activities they will encounter in the physical production environment. “We can create a workbench with a complete set of tools, you can safely approach and observe a working engine, you can pick up a screwdriver and use it to unscrew or tighten screws,” Maliszewski lists.

Industry improves competencies thanks to the metaverse

The gap between employees’ skills and professional experience and business reality can be eliminated by, among others, Aidar solutions, used to create and improve organizations’ own immersive training methods. The company builds hardware-agnostic work environment simulators in virtual reality (VR) , allowing for efficient and effective onboarding of specialists and training in new skills organized without access to real machines and materials, Aidar representatives inform.

Using augmented reality (AR) technology, the company also allows for remote support of companies by experts located anywhere in the world. Everything is recorded in a knowledge base to serve other employees in the future, and the material gathered in this way can be edited, supplemented, and developed. This allows for virtually unlimited development of team and company competencies – Aidar experts emphasize.

How to develop a company in the metaverse

Training in AR, VR, and MR has proven effectiveness in solving real business problems, as well as in increasing the competitive advantage of enterprises. Their choice is made based on the needs of the company and specific criteria, such as the type of knowledge being transferred and training conditions – including whether the training can be conducted in a specific, physical facility, e.g., a production plant, and whether it is possible to gather participants there, or whether the training must take a remote form.

Aidar solutions increase knowledge mobility and raise the skill level of entire teams. This allows bridging the gap between book theory and employees’ personal experience and enables their synergy, which influences the development of enterprises.

Company development in the metaverse

The industrial sector is improving competencies through virtual experiences. Citi estimates that even before 2030, the value of the metaverse market may reach $13 trillion. Immersive technologies are developing at a rapid pace, finding applications in both consumer and corporate solutions, and are transforming key industries, from architecture and interior design, through film production, to engineering and manufacturing. Along with them, the job market and its needs are also changing.

The gap between employees’ skills and professional experience and business reality can be eliminated by Aidar solutions, which are used to create and improve companies’ own immersive training methods. Aidar identifies opportunities and needs of enterprises and proposes solutions that allow anticipating the problem of employee deficit and know-how flowing out of companies.
