Step 1: Define safety & efficiency KPIs
Pick goals: incident reduction, time saved, or skills retention. Align with safety and HR.
Select goals
Align safety & HR
Confirm compliance baseline
Step 2: Configure tech & modules
Choose VR, AR, projection, or LED. Lock vendors, select 2–3 modules, integrate LMS/HRIS.
Step 3: Run pilot sessions
Step 4: Test, Record, Improve In Live Service

Frequently Asked Questions
Do VR sims replace in‑person training?
No. They complement physical training and reduce risk exposure.
How do we prove ROI?
Via incidents avoided, hours saved, and downtime reductions.
Do projection/LED installs need permits?
Yes. All installs must pass safety codes.
What’s the MVP?
1 VR sim, 1 AR workflow, 1 LED dashboard.
How do we scale?
Add modules, expand to more departments, integrate with LMS.
What to track from day one
Track training completion, error rates, incidents, retention scores, and downtime saved. Anonymous or opt‑in only.
Tech stack & ops
VR rigs, AR glasses/tablets, projection/LED displays, LMS/HRIS integration, SPARC analytics. Ops: device MDM, safety approvals, offline fallback.
Example MVP
1 VR hazard sim, 1 AR maintenance overlay, 1 LED dashboard. LMS integrated. Opt‑in signage.
VR Hazard Sims — fire, chemical, machinery.
AR Maintenance — step‑by‑step overlays.
Projection Mapping Dashboards — ops training.
LED Control Rooms — immersive decision training.
LBE Sim Zones — forklifts, lock‑out/tag‑out.
Why immersive works in training & simulation
VR/AR simulations replicate high‑risk scenarios safely. Staff practice tasks repeatedly, improving retention and reducing accidents — all with lower cost than real‑world setups.
Incidents reduced 15–25%
Efficiency in training time cut 20–40%
Skills and recall is uplifted by 15–25%
Cost to train is reduced through need for physical equipment or downtime reducing
Reduce incidents 15–25%
Cut training time 20–40%
Lift skills retention 15–25%
KPIs & targets
**Safety** −15–25% incidents. **Efficiency** +20–40%. **Retention** +15–25%. **Cost savings** tracked. Ops crash‑free ≥98%.
ROI snapshot
Pilot Design Example
Safety, Privacy & Compliance in Training XR
All installs must meet OH&S, fire, and electrical codes. Projection/LED dashboards glare‑safe. AR/VR requires opt‑ins, no biometrics. Accessibility defaults: captions, strobe‑safe, mobility support. LBE zones supervised.
Risks & mitigations
Risks: IT resistance, safety approvals, low adoption. Mitigations: early IT alignment, certified installs, staff induction.
