In this session, The eLearning Guild’s director of research, Jane Bozarth, hosts an overview of The Guild’s most recent reports on AR/VR in learning and development efforts. Joined by Cindy Plunkett, co-author of the Guild's April 2019 report, “Augmented and Virtual Reality for Behavior Change,” and The Guild's David Kelly, the session will cover user data regarding popular tools and approaches, as well as current and planned use. It will also offer a review of the literature on leveraging these approaches to change behavior/improve performance.

3-D content is phenomenally cool—from basic polygonal models to full human-like characters, buildings, vehicles, and even complete environments. Because 3-D content has historically taken vast resources (i.e., time and money) to create, 3-D resources are often relegated to video games, simulations, and/or VR only. However, creating, editing, or obtaining 3-D models for everyday use in eLearning doesn’t have to be cost-prohibitive or take a lot of time.
