Greg McLoughlin-WildenIs VR worth it in eLearning

This blog summarises a 2 day hackathon with of one of Canopi’s best clients to , the Royal Life Saving Society, NSW Branch to gain an understanding of what VR can do.

Canopi objectives (Developer) 
To understand the 'economics' of creating virtual reality content including:

<ul>
<li>• What planning is required?</li>
<li>• What equipment is needed, it's capabilities and outputs?</li>
<li>• What skills are needed?</li>
</ul>

To bring the client on the journey so they could consider how they might use the technology. 
It was also a great opportunity for Canopi staff to get together and have some fun! 
Why this client? Royal Life Saving NSW staff and learners operate in visually rich and technically challenging environment - sun, water, noise. It's also difficult to provide realistic situations for training purposes where learners can apply their knowledge, or see what things are like in the real world. RLS believe VR could be beneficial for training outcomes.

Well, I've found a solution, its a bit harder but way better that VLOOKUP and gives you rock solid matches on multiple columns.

Read on, your life will never be the same.
