Immersive training has the potential to make a huge impact on Ecuador’s education system.
“ActiVaR,” one of the first technical training programs in Latin America, was launched at an event in Quito, Ecuador where 150 participants experienced VR and AR training techniques–many of them for the first time.
World Bank GCS Interactive Media Senior Project Manager Jimmy Vainstein called the launching event “a milestone itself.” They partnered with Visyon, a Barcelona-based practical immersive technology company, to provide a widespread selection of technical experiences in VR from Oculus and Vive, and AR through Magic Leap, HoloLens, and Moverio glasses.
