Immersive training - some serious studies!

Immersive training - some serious studies!

Immersive training: here are a few serious and regularly cited studies showing that virtual reality (VR) significantly improves the rate of information retention in a training context:

 

Academic studies & meta-analyses for immersive training

 

  • A meta-analysis in education (K-12 and higher) reveals that immersive VR environments offer significant gains on knowledge tests, far more effective than conventional videos or slideshows.(PDF LINK)Β 

  • An engineering study by Lin et al (2023) shows that after mechanical assembly training, in VR training, one group obtained the highest post-test scores, higher than those of the desktop VR or physical training groups(LIEN).

  • A comparison between VR training, desktop VR, and slideshow presentation in food microbiology indicates that VR promotes long-term retention: students show more visual attention and lasting memory (LINK).

 

 

Abstract I/ITSEC 2022 - "Challenging the Status Quo in Nursing Education: Digital Transformation with Virtual Reality".

Authors: Juliet Kolde, Jeffrey Olsen, Jack Pottle, Molly Schleicher
Presented at I/ITSEC 2022, this study describes Nightingale College's multi-phase pilot program integrating immersive virtual reality (partnership with Oxford Medical Simulation + Meta Quest 2 headsets) within the distance learning nursing curriculum (PDF LINK and WEB LINK).

Key points of a 5-year hospital study from 2020 to 2025:

  • Progressive installation of VR simulations in all clinical courses in the licensing program.

  • Interactive immersive scenarios (diagnoses, treatments, interactions with virtual patients and their families), with personalized feedback, performance metrics and debriefing.

  • Very positive preliminary results for students' critical thinking and clinical reasoning.

  • Overall positive feedback from students: valued immersion, ability to repeat scenarios at will, greater confidence and less anxiety.

  • Significant gains as early as spring 2023, with an average jump of almost 10 points on the BSN 205 practical exam (first VR module), improving learners' preparation for real-life simulation. Average 5.9% better scores, up to +171 points on final exams.

  • Reduces costs and training time by ~40.

 

 


πŸ“ˆ Field studies & industrial reports

 

  • The University of Maryland (Varshney et al.) reports a 12% increase in median recall and an 8.8% increase in precision in VR compared to screen-based training (CBT)(LINK).

  • One week after the training, Transfr Inc. observed :

    • 86% performance on tasks learned in VR versus only 71% with slide presentation (LINK).

  • PwC (2020) reports that VR learners are up to 4Γ— more focused and enjoy a 75% retention rate, compared with 10% for reading and just 5% for lectures (LINK).

Immersive Training

 

 


🌍 Recent research in schools

 

  • An international study (317 students in El Salvador, April 2025) shows that the VR group has a 35% increase in retention, compared with just 2.6% for the traditional group one week after training (LINK).

    Example here: School bullying, 1 tool to raise awareness: VR

 

 


πŸ’‘ To sum up

Training mode Information retention
Traditional reading β‰ˆ 5-10 %
Lectures / slide show 10-20 %
Immersive VR training 75-86 %

On average, VR increases retention rates by a factor of 4 to 10 compared with conventional modes. The immersive aspect, with maximum concentration and active repetition, encourages deeper consolidation of knowledge.

The first VR360 platform translated into Breton

The first VR360 platform translated into Breton

πŸŽ‰ Release of the FΓͺte de la Bretagne 2025... and a small revolution in the world of immersion and VR! πŸŒŠπŸ’«

At explorations360, we like to combine immersion, innovation and asserting our roots. So to mark the occasion, we decided to make a symbolic gesture: translate our immersive platform into Breton.

brezhoneg

πŸ“£ 🐟🌿➑️ And to our knowledge, this is the first VR360 platform platform translated into Breton.

It's not just a wink: it's our way of saying that local cultures have their place in tomorrow's technologies. That in VR, too, you can travel far and wide while remaining firmly rooted, our Corsican friends from Antra Strada (Voyage Art Design) won't contradict us!

We need you!

πŸ§ͺ Even if it's a first in the whole known universe πŸš€πŸŒ, we launch this version with humility (and a few doubts spelling doubts πŸ˜…). So if you speak Breton - or know someone who can help us proofread, correct, refine - we invite you to create a free account at (top right button) and give us a hand.

🎁 No need for a VR headset to help, a simple browser is all you need, just like creating your own immersive experiences.

πŸ’¬ A comment, a share, a "Reizh eo!" - all is welcome.
