- Rick, what has been your experience with VR training?
- What is the difference between AR and VR?
- Torsten/Rick, what are the benefits you’ve seen already?
- Can either of you share some of the limitations or barriers to manufacturers adopting VR for training more readily?
- Lastly, how do you both see VR technology impacting training even further?
