Why did Portland Community College switch from Oculus for Business?
Portland Community College switched from Oculus for Business because the platform stopped updating and no longer supported essential VR applications like VRpatients, which is crucial for their EMS training. This lack of support hindered their ability to effectively run their VR program.
How has ArborXR improved PCC's VR training?
ArborXR has improved PCC's VR training by allowing remote installation of VRpatients content, enabling automatic updates, and providing features like kiosk mode to control the student experience. Additionally, it offers robust analytics to track student engagement and headset health, which helps in securing funding for the program.
What are the benefits of using VR in EMS training?
Virtual reality in EMS training at PCC has led to training being up to 15% faster, saving over 1300 hours per cohort in accreditation requirements. It provides a risk-free environment for students to practice real-life emergency scenarios, enhancing their engagement, knowledge retention, and preparedness for real-world situations.
