VoicesXR | Virtual Conversations
VR-based immersive training experience that rapidly accelerates preparedness for new social workers
The VoicesXR platform delivers highly realistic & real-life training experiences that start in the VR headset environment and end with person-to-person discussions in the classroom. In one application, we made it possible for newly hired foster care workers to quickly build crucial observation and questioning skills prior to visiting their first family home, where they could be required to make potentially life-altering decisions about the welfare of a child. The VR experience allows users to practice the critical skills of conversation & Inquiry, observation, interpretation and decision-making all within the headset experience. Once they've completed the VR portion of the training, they move to an open classroom discussion, data analysis and supervisor follow-up. VoicesXR is the first of its kind in the soft skills training market that can scale to an enterprise level for global corporations, governments and other large, diverse entities and teams.
