If you think you have to glue content in front of their eyeballs, you've got bigger problems than fulfilling your legally mandated requirement for check-the-box training.

And that would be a fair comparison if before trainers were training with death-by-PowerPoint and now they were doing the same inches from trainee’s eyeballs.

However I’m hopeful that this new medium leads to interactivity by default, furthermore there are first mover advantages to be gained from improved engagement while VR is novel to most users.

"Improved engagement" in corporate training materials? I fear that's a concept that only exists in the sales literature of training materials creators.

I feel that improved engagement used to exist as a positive term before marketers took it and added all the marketing garbage that comes with it today. If something makes you less bored with teaching then it's worth looking at.

Okay well thank god nobody is gluing anything to anybody's eyeballs.
