Coronavirus (COVID-19) has dominated the news in recent weeks because the once isolated outbreak in China has expanded to become a global phenomenon. The main concern is obviously personal and family health during this period. But the impact of companies has also been substantial - from Microsoft and Apple lowering financial projections to the main conferences such as the World Congress of Mobile Phone and FC8 Cancellation.
We discussed the main changes in the companies led by a widespread adoption of virtual reality. There are no companies and surprise governments and take advantage of the RV during the coronavirus epidemic at a better function. Below we will discuss some of the most impactful use of the RV during a health event like this.
First of all, we wanted to remind you of the main benefits of the VR overall: more precisely that it is immersive, memorable and the nearest you can get to "be there". As coronavirus necessarily caused the isolation and travel plans for many, VR takes over the relay. Activities that once requested a "in-person" presence can now be made virtually.
There are many use cases for the RV during the Coronavirus global response, but here are the ones we believe that companies and governments benefit the most to:
Training of remote employees with virtual reality
Businesses in recent years already accelerate their adoption of VR for employee training. It is just meaning: it saves money while being easily listening to 100 or 1000 people of workers.
The coronavirus has prevented some workers from traveling, such as coaches and business managers. Registration and deployment of 360 degrees VR formations - Be it for VR helmet, mobile or weber - allows employees to get vital training without having to leave their location and without others had to come to them.
The training of the RV can help mitigate the burden on the introduction of new employees, which may have temporarily resume workers affected by government actions related to the virus. For example, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe asked Japanese schools to close for the month of March. For parents unable to go to work because of this, temporary employees can quickly and easily use VR applications to learn all facets of a job.
Companies such as Apple and Microsoft also needed to examine China for supply chain options. Many warehouses from other countries that they could use should mobilize rapidly. There is no better way to do so that using 360-degree VR experiments showing how the existing supply chain works. Each preparation company should capture their key process in 360 / VR, when needed to reproduce.
With InstAp, you can also use our co-experience feature to train multiple employees at the same time, regardless of their location. The corporate coach or the manager would not have to travel in affected areas and can still bring the training. The formation of the RV makes as much meaning in a world of travel-forced.
Virtual client commitment
As mentioned, the World Mobile Congress and Facebook F8 Conference are already canceled and the Game Developer Conference (GDC) in San Francisco in March has been reduced. Many people who could go to a shopping center or shops do not travel either because of coronavirus fears.
Does this mean that companies should simply stop interacting with potential customers and customers? Of course not.
With virtual reality applications offering interactive and educational experiences for potential customers, there is no reason to stop awareness. Some even suggested Facebook should run its remote developer conference via VR, an idea that we love.
But even VR experiences can not use Instavr to create engaged and memorable experiences that potential customers can enjoy home via the VR headset, mobile phone, web, etc.
