The Steps Involved

Every project like every business and brand is diffrerent, here are some steps we find common between deployments in your industry.

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.

- VR/AR modules - Projection/LED dashboards - LMS/HRIS integration - Staff enablement

Step 3: Run pilot sessions

- 1 VR sim - 1 AR workflow - 1 projection/LED dashboard - 50–100 staff

Step 4: Test, Record, Improve In Live Service

- Incidents down 15–25% - Time down 20–40% - Retention up 15–25% - Cost savings tracked

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.

- training_complete - error_rate - incident_flag - retention_score - downtime_minutes

Tech stack & ops

VR rigs, AR glasses/tablets, projection/LED displays, LMS/HRIS integration, SPARC analytics. Ops: device MDM, safety approvals, offline fallback.

- VR rigs - AR devices - Projection/LED dashboards - LMS/HRIS integration - Offline fallback

Example MVP

1 VR hazard sim, 1 AR maintenance overlay, 1 LED dashboard. LMS integrated. Opt‑in signage.

- VR hazard sim - AR maintenance overlay - LED dashboard

Choose your format

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.

  1. Incidents reduced 15–25% 

  2. Efficiency in training time cut 20–40% 

  3. Skills and recall is uplifted by 15–25% 

  4. 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%

Training & Simulation Playbook

You need to prepare staff for high‑risk, complex, or costly tasks without disruption or accidents.


This playbook shows how XR simulations reduce risk, improve skills, and deliver clear ROI.

KPIs & targets

**Safety** −15–25% incidents. **Efficiency** +20–40%. **Retention** +15–25%. **Cost savings** tracked. Ops crash‑free ≥98%.

ROI snapshot

Inputs: incidents avoided × cost, training hours saved × wage, downtime saved × $/min. Payback
- Incidents avoided × cost - Training hours saved × wage - Downtime saved × $/min - Payback

Pilot Design Example

Run 1 VR sim, 1 AR workflow, 1 LED dashboard. Target: 50–100 staff, KPI thresholds met, zero safety/privacy incidents.
- 1 VR sim - 1 AR workflow - 1 LED dashboard - 50–100 staff - Zero incidents

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.

• OH&S/fire/electrical codes • Projection/LED glare‑safe • Opt‑in signage • No biometrics • Accessibility defaults • Supervised LBE zones

Risks & mitigations

Risks: IT resistance, safety approvals, low adoption. Mitigations: early IT alignment, certified installs, staff induction.
