The Business Case for VR in Industrial Settings
W niektórych przypadkach istnieją pewne wątpliwości co do tego, czy istnieją pewne powody, które uzasadniają, że te projekty są wykorzystywane do realizacji projektu, ale te podejścia Carry inherent limitations. W niektórych przypadkach szkolenia te są ograniczone, aby zapewnić bezpieczeństwo i bezpieczeństwo, a w innych przypadkach nie można było przewidzieć, czy istnieją pewne podstawy, aby zapewnić, że projekt ten będzie w pełni wspierany przez projekt.
Quantifying thee Impact
Early adopts in aerospace, automativa, and energy have published comelling metrics. For example, Boeing reportował that VR training for wire harness assembly reducble time by 25% and error rates by nearly 50%. In the construction industry, commerces using VR for decorn reviews have seen a 20- 30% reduction in change orders andd rework, directly bootin project profitabity.
