Virtual Reality Training: IRWINO's Unique Approach
Virtual reality training is revolutionizing the field of traditional training in the business world. It offers an immersive and realistic learning experience that enables employees to train more effectively and efficiently.
Many companies have begun using this technology to train their staff in various areas, including safety, customer service, and technical training.
However, not all virtual reality training approaches are equal. As a pioneer in VR training for businesses, our approach is innovative, offering a high-quality experience. In this article, we will explore why our VR learning modules are unique.
What is the Purpose of Virtual Reality?
Contrary to what its name implies, virtual reality is not intended to replace "real reality." It enables immersing people in realistic universes, certainly, but stands out especially in its ability to plunge users into new worlds, into conditions impossible to reproduce in real life: going to the bottom of an ocean, into space, shrinking to a microscopic size... the possibilities are infinite!
And for training, what does this mean?
Virtual reality allows professionals to be immersed in universes with chosen constraints and conditions, enabling them to work on every aspect of their job like never before: reaction time, process knowledge, spatial memorization, data visualization, spatial projection, etc.
You have at your disposal a tool that enables obtaining realistic reactions, regardless of the situation you propose. It is simply unmatched by other training methods.
What are the Limitations of Virtual Reality for Professional Training?
Virtual reality training approaches are very often limited by:
The use of tools that are too complex for mobile trainers to grasp, requiring them significant adaptation time.
The use of these training tools for learners is often too technical, such as memorizing multiple buttons for interaction in the virtual world.
A very generalist approach to using VR in their solutions that settles for the minimum.
Technical requirements that are too demanding, leading to additional costs. Such as purchasing a powerful computer or needing an excellent internet connection to function properly, etc.
A cost often too high relative to what the solution actually delivers.
Since its creation, IRWINO is committed to addressing these issues as effectively as possible, to deliver solutions that are always more affordable, comfortable, relevant, and memorable.
For example, we have consistently chosen to use the most affordable technologies, even if it means spending more time creating our 3D environments to maintain an optimal level of quality.
Another example: our Virtual Extinguishers are resolutely low-tech products in their design, to avoid problems associated with using connected objects.

How to Avoid VR Sickness?
User comfort at the center of the user experience
Virtual reality training is gradually establishing itself in the professional learning market.
Certain design rules must be followed to create quality immersive modules. If these rules are not followed, it can cause motion sickness (also called motion sickness), which is a common side effect of VR use.
This can lead to nausea, dizziness, and headaches for some people. If trainees feel uncomfortable or sick when using professional virtual reality training, it can greatly impair their learning ability.
Our artistic director, Adrien Perrugault, who is himself very sensitive to motion sickness, is fully dedicated to creating learning modules that comply with VR solution design standards.
As a result, our professional virtual reality training programs are free from this undesirable effect. The development team reinforces this approach by designing fluid and immersive tools that ensure user comfort and experience. Since 2015, Adrien Perrugault and his team have designed over 50 VR experiences that meet these quality requirements.
Our Training Programs Are Designed Solely for Trainers' Needs
At IRWINO, we don't have in-house trainers, which compels us to constantly listen to the requirements of trainers and their trainees. This allows us to continuously improve our training modules by adding new features through regular updates.

Our Professional Approach to Virtual Reality Training for Workplace First Aiders
SST VR is a professional virtual reality training program dedicated to Workplace First Aid and Rescue, using a latest-generation standalone VR headset. It enables trainers to evaluate their trainees' analyses and decisions during realistic and interactive simulations.
Trainees experience the stress of first responders, must quickly make vital decisions, and only memorize best practices by watching a certified trainer in action.
Each trainee learns independently how to use VR, then is immersed in a unique scenario where they must decide on the actions to take. For 4 to 5 minutes, each trainee finds themselves in an interactive 360-degree accident situation, enabling them to conduct a case study or formative role-play exercise.
What Makes SST VR, Our Virtual Reality Training, Unique:
A pedagogical tool that offers concrete and realistic case studies in just a few minutes through 360-degree video virtual reality (VR360).
Only 3 minutes are needed to experience an impactful event to verify knowledge and decision-making in emergency situations through virtual reality.
Your trainees are immersed in accident scenes such as: choking, fainting, burns, an unconscious non-breathing person, etc.
A set of 16 scenarios complying with INRS standards.
The application is regularly updated to keep pace with INRS guidelines and equipment evolution.
Works offline and in a confined space
Trainer control and debriefing interface
Regular addition of new features for constant improvement of realism and user experience
Our Professional Approach to Virtual Reality Fire Training
FIRE VR is a professional virtual reality training solution dedicated to fire safety, using a latest-generation standalone VR headset. It enables first responders to confront a fire situation, in order to verify their compliance with safety procedures under stress. Trainers evaluate the reactions, decisions, and proper acquisition of safety procedures of trainees during realistic and interactive fire simulations.
Trainees are plunged into total immersion to promote learning, practice, and implementation of procedures in emergency situations. They must manage triggering alarms, calling the fire department, warning colleagues, choosing the appropriate extinguisher, operating a real extinguisher in a crisis situation, putting out the fire, and reaching the assembly point.
In March 2021, the addition of Virtual Extinguishers created directly in our FabLab further enhances the trainee's immersion in the simulation. These extinguishers were designed with trainers to meet their pedagogical, organizational, logistical, and commercial expectations. They are compact and robust, and improve understanding and memorization.
What Makes the FIRE VR Simulator Unique:
A complete simulation of the fire procedure for total immersion in emergency situations.
Your trainees have the ability to trigger alarms, call the fire department, and operate a real extinguisher in a crisis situation, thanks to our virtual extinguishers.
