The house-building industry is on the verge of a transformative era, striving to deliver future homes through innovation, quality, and adaptability. FocusXR is at the forefront of this evolution, offering cutting-edge Virtual Work Experience (VWEX) and immersive training solutions tailored to the construction sector. As we approach BEYOND ’25 LIVE, NHBC’s national conference dedicated to the future of house building.
FocusXR’s content, filmed alongside the NHBC and including bricklaying and cavity trays, presents a revolutionary approach to work orientation. It accelerates skill transfer and improves knowledge retention within the industry, drawing from experienced, skilled workers. Thanks to FocusXR, apprenticeships and work experience in this dynamic field have become significantly more manageable.
Focus XR harnesses Extended Reality (XR) technologies to provide immersive training experiences that replicate real-world construction environments. By utilising 360-degree video, Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR), Focus XR enables trainees to engage in realistic simulations, granting virtual access to equipment, hazardous situations, and essential site safety protocols. This approach ensures that apprentices and trainees develop practical skills and confidence without the inherent risks associated with on-site training.
Key Benefits of Focus XR’s Virtual Work Experience:
Realistic Simulations: Trainees can immerse themselves in lifelike construction scenarios, enhancing their readiness for actual projects.
Safety Training: Focus XR provides a safe platform for learning and practicing safety protocols, preparing workers for hazardous situations without real-world risks.
Collaborative Projects: The platform facilitates virtual team collaborations, fostering teamwork and problem-solving skills essential in construction projects.
Customisable and Scalable: Training modules can be tailored to specific projects or learning needs and are scalable to accommodate diverse teams.
Remote Accessibility: Trainees can access the platform remotely, reducing costs and accommodating geographically dispersed teams.
By integrating Focus XR’s immersive training solutions, educational institutions and construction companies can bridge the skills gap, enhance safety, and improve productivity in the house-building sector.
