The companies said that ARuVR’s Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) platform integrates seamlessly with Mintra’s TrainPortal, and will give Mintra’s customers access to immersive and risk-free training.
Siren Berge, CTO, Mintra, said: “At a time when the maritime and energy industries are going through a huge change, it’s important that multi-format compliant training solutions keep pace. The partnership with ARuVR enables Mintra to support our customers with a solution which enriches the training experience while at the same time reduces risk and increases efficiency.”
For learners, the partners said their combined proposition blends theory and practice, with e-learning backed by practical application of that learning in an immersive virtual environment. The approach will improve absorption, engagement, satisfaction, and knowledge retention, they added.
ARuVR is cross-compatible across mobile, tablet, desktop and XR devices, and allows trainers to connect with multiple trainees anywhere in the world simultaneously. Along with the training benefits, companies will benefit from reduced training times and reduced carbon footprint and costs from less travel.
Kevin Short, CEO, Mintra, said, “The partnership with ARuVR gives Mintra a strategic advantage to support our growing global customer base with a leading technology solution which will play an integral part in our blended learning solution going forward. The team at ARuVR has developed a platform which fits perfectly with Mintra’s strategic vision.”
Frank Furnari, CEO & Founder, ARuVR, said, “Safety-critical and highly regulated industries are embracing training solutions to reduce training risk, drive efficiency and raise standards. Mintra has recognised that our AR and VR platform is the obvious next evolution of training and we look forward to developing this strategic partnership further.”
