VRVR Training Case Study – Deutsche Bahn AG

• Deutsche Bahn, which has a turnover of €40bn, manages Germany’s railway infrastructure, runs train and bus services overseas. It employs 200,000 people in Germany and 100,000 overseas.

• The company was struggling to find recruits in a labor market affected by a significant fall in the number of young people entering the German workforce.

VRVR Training Case Study – Deutsche Bahn AG

• Deutsche Bahn AG used 3D-VR films to allow potential employees the chance to “experience” different jobs on offer before they apply.

• Candidates across the country could experience driving into a train depot and inspecting the underside of DB AG’s flagship 320kph Intercity Express trains.

• The company saw an increase the number of people applying for jobs, reaching 12,000 applicants last year. Their VR films were highly praised for their quality.

ARAR Training Statistics

How effective is AR Training?Research was conducted on students by the Boston Research Group to test AR training vs. traditional and screen based modes of training, namely Desktops and Mobiles.

They were tasked with understanding instructions through a tablet AR app and assembling an aircraft wing.

Other sets of students were given the same task, but provided only screen based applications on the desktop and the tablet.
