VR Academy · Technical training

Learn a procedure.
One action at a time.

A VR simulator to guide technicians through installing and maintaining multifunction printers.

Inside the project
Olivetti virtual environment with a multifunction printer reconstructed in 3D

The challenge

A complex product.
A process to understand.

How do you guide a new technician from an explanation to practice?

For Olivetti, we developed a guided virtual reality experience. Technicians enter the environment, interact with the product and work through the procedure steps.

A step in the guided experience within the Olivetti simulator.

Get your bearings.

A 3D environment makes the product and its components explorable.

Follow the guidance.

Instructions and interactions accompany each stage of the simulation.

Put it into practice.

Installation becomes a sequence of tasks to perform.

From product to simulation

Detail
serves a purpose.

The DC7100MF and DC5000MF models were reconstructed from photographs taken during visits to Olivetti centres. The challenge was turning them into products that people could interact with.

The Virtuademy project was conceived to make this training accessible across different locations through distributed VR Academies.

From their need to yours

How important is hands-on practice
with your product?

We design a learning journey around the tasks your technicians need to master.
