Already being previously partnered with Next World as part of their larger safety program, Komatsu asked Next World to demonstrate the effectiveness of Virtual Reality training to the 2022 apprentice cohort.
Time Saving
The results show an overwhelmingly positive response and a significant opportunity to increase learning engagement. Therefore Next World’s VR solution also provided Komatsu trainers with a potential of up to a 55.13% time efficiency saving per class.

How Komatsu Implemented VR Training
Leveraging the strengths of a large organisation, Komatsu has taken a diverse and effective approach to the rollout of their VR training. They have employed a range of methods throughout their two Australian training locations, from group training sessions to one-on-one learning. Komatsu has also reported great utilisation of Next World’s multi-viewer hardware.
"The traditional way of learning, which has been through textbook and structured learning programs, obviously leaves gaps in learning capability, so being able to have a portable tool that we can send to a worker before they complete a dangerous or new task, to fill those knowledge gaps, is a super powerful tool for Komatsu moving forwards."
