Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “On the Job Training In VR”.
Uh yeah, I got uh two here for you: hi dll, the American Red Cross, released a VR training app for lifeguards, but it needs the quest to or three lonus. Do you think this would have helped you become a better lifeguard and can it help others? I think it could have helped with repetitive training exercises like going through the motions literally of you know, working on CPR, compressions or um, or to to practice like if they have, if they have like a simulated pool that you can stand next to and try to Spot distressed swimmers and stuff like that, try to try to get your like make it make make it a game. Try to get your time down like how fast you you recognize a problem like I could see. I could see stuff like that being kind of useful, but when it comes to the nuts and bolts of, can you actually haul someone’s? You know soggy butt out of a pool? No, you need real life. You need to. You need to actually train. So if I was doing a training program – and I had homework for the weekend where I had to get my response time down to you – know 3 seconds to spot or whatever yeah sure I could see being kind of useful for that.
I also think, if you’re, if you’re doing stuff like if you’re, if you’re training um once you’ve gotten the mode of the Water Aid, I don’t know what different forms of that that would come up in. But if it’s like training that you do with a dummy yep, if you could still do that, training with a dummy, but while VR strapped in so it’s like more real reality, I think it might help desensitize in situations where it might be rough. That’S kind of interesting um. Another thing I could see it be really being really useful for with mixed reality.
Is things like um, you know landmarking or um like okay, one of the things that you need to do. If you’re going to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation like uh breathing assistance is, is you have to tilt the head back, and so, if it would tell you like, hey, you didn’t tilt back far enough cuz, it’s actually monitoring. It could show you like uh, like a you know like a green shade, for how far back the the head needs to go in order to open up the airway or something like that sure I could see it being very useful. I haven’t used their software, though I have no idea if it does any of what I just said. It could just be stupid, I’m not sure, but yeah absolutely I mean uh commercial applications for VR are heavily heavily uh training focused uh one of the things that um, oh bananas, who was it yeah? One of the things Intel showed back when I checked out their f a while back was uh maintenance on the machines.
Is it’s Microsoft, Hol lens driven yeah, so it’ll just show you like you could be a complete nobody off the street and you could perform maintenance on one of these multi-million doll machines just by putting on a hollow lens and it’ll, be like okay go over there And get that toolkit and then open up that tool. Kit uh grab this and you pick it up. It’S like nope, not that one like like really any monkey with training could like yeah Hollow lens is totally a thing.
It’S just not a thing in the consumer space um military has applications for it as well y, hey lldd, picking up the ABCs of gaming for my soon Tobe born son. Do you see Ai Ai and AR headsets being useful tool to help kids learn? I think we go through this every single time. There’S a new technological innovation. First, they it was computers in the classroom. Are these a good tool for teaching kids like? Well? Yes, but also no printers? Then we went through it with uh. You know tablets yeah.
Then we went through it with cell phones, then we go through it with everything. Yes, but also no is is the answer um everything in moderation right. Well, not everything but yeah I mean don’t don’t moderate in moderation, yeah, that’s a good one! It’S a good quote! You need to excessively moderate yourself now now we’re getting dystopian again, I don’t know, I think I think the way to to fight off the dystopia is to be constantly at War. This is this is my whole new thing. I’M into that. I I think I’ve talked about this before 40K.
That’S how it happened. Everybody was really Moder, I don’t mean war is in like shooting people I mean war is in like uh understanding that so many things around you are obsessively intentionally. Manipulative float plane chats just starting to list things that are not okay, in moderation, only your neighbor’s wife in moderation; no, not anything in moderation. I mean hey, maybe maybe there’s an agreement there, yeah yeah, don’t abuse! That relationship seems very healthy man. It’S always good to be positive about that sort of stuff. Okay yeah – maybe maybe that’s all copasetic, with only cannibalism and moderation.
Uh yeah, don’t take more than your fair share. Oh man anyway, um CL think chat’s very reasonable cool yeah .
