Equal Reality Case Studies

Problem

Inspired by Black Lives Matter, ViacomCBS wanted to deepen awareness and understanding of others’ experiences that may be different than one’s own, and demonstrate how to be an ally.

Challenges

Experiential learning is best, but traditional eLearning isn't experiential.

COVID means:

    • In-person experiences are not feasible

    • VR headsets cannot be shared

Solution

Simulation technology that can be delivered remotely to those working from home, using existing technology. Makes use of embodiment techniques and interactive features.

Web-based VR Simulations blended with Facilitator-led Zoom Workshops. Launched as part of ViacomCBS's Inclusion week.

Over 99% of users understood and felt what it was like.

96% of users felt prepared to act in the workplace

780 people trained with 2 headsets.

External Research

Stanford has shown memory retention can improve from 10% in traditional methods to 70% with virtual reality

As well as give empathy, reduce bias and behaviour change

Retention. The National Training Laboratory found that learners using VR had a retention rate of 75%, compared to 10% for reading and 5% for lectures.

Retention Longevity. Training utilizing VR results in a retention rate of up to 80% of knowledge one year after training, compared to 20% just one week after traditional training.

Latest in Virtual Reality Character Graphics

Meet the Metahumans, the next generation of virtual character technology. Equal Reality is using Unreal Engines MetaHumans technology to create hyper realistic virtual characters.

5 years ago Stanford used to pay $90,000 for their VR kit, today they pay around $400. And it is better quality. The tech is on an exponential curve.
