Virtual space

Project Overview:

The objective of creating the virtual space was to efficiently share Best Practices with all employees, both remote and in-office, at a construction company. Given the logistical challenges of bringing all employees to a central location, a virtual walkthrough was chosen as the most effective solution to showcase these practices. The virtual space consisted of 360-degree images of the physical workspace, and videos of SMEs speaking to their related subject matter, allowing employees to navigate through a predetermined route. To enhance engagement, interactive elements and a short quiz were included. I utilized an InstaX 360 camera to capture the images, Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the videos, and 3D Vista software to build the virtual space.

Collaboration:

Key stakeholders included SMEs and the L&D manager. SMEs provided valuable insights and content for the virtual walkthrough, while the L&D manager assisted in the development and alignment of the learning objectives. Effective collaboration ensured that the content was both accurate and engaging.

Challenges and Solutions:

The main challenges were learning the new 3D Vista software and correctly stitching the images to create a coherent and navigable route. Overcoming these challenges involved a period of dedicated learning and experimentation with the software to ensure the virtual space was intuitive and logically structured.

Impact and Results:

The virtual space significantly improved the accessibility of Best Practices information for all employees, regardless of location. The interactive elements and quizzes increased engagement and retention of the material. Initial feedback indicated a positive reception, with employees appreciating the convenience and clarity of the virtual walkthrough. Future plans include expanding the virtual space to cover additional topics and incorporating more interactive features to further enhance the learning experience. Lessons learned from this project will be applied to streamline the development process and improve the overall quality of future virtual environments.

To note:

Because of confidentiality reasons, I am unable to share the full walkthrough experience.
