Virtual Reality (VR) has hitherto been associated largely with the gaming industry. But as rates of digital penetration rise and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) increases the demand new skills sets, the technology is also becoming a mainstream business and skills-development tool. Management consultancy Accenture notes that while passive learning and memorisation have featured prominently in the past, the modern workforce is increasingly attuned to a more active approach, whereby employees learn through practical experiences, with the aid of tools such as VR. As an experiential learning method, VR has the potential to increase learning quality and improves memory retention by up to 75%.
