The TLDR ↓
Engineers found desktop training boring.
They would be engaged for merely 10 mins.
Engineers in high-risk jobs like oil rigs, automotive, and construction need extensive training, but many companies lack the budget, time, or safety measures for on-site training.
Desktop training was ineffective—engineers found it disengaging, leading to on-site recaps and management frustration.
Think about it! Can you imagine learning the hard skills of your job on a desktop?
Sitting at a desk, clicking through slides, and watching videos hardly prepares someone for the real-world challenges of high-risk environments.
… have you ever felt engaged while training on a desktop?
Tesseract saw mixed-reality (XR) training as the key to solving this challenge.
