How virtual reality is changing UPS employee training - TechRepublic

Learn how UPS drivers and in-house workers are benefiting from training through virtual reality.

Karen Roby: Virtual reality allows for real-world experiences without danger to employees and the general public. This type of training is especially helpful for logistics companies like UPS, where workers are in fast-paced settings inside the hub and out on the road, behind the wheel.

The brown trucks seen crisscrossing neighborhoods throughout the country are the most visible, well-known members of the UPS fleet. While drivers are taught safety measures on the road, a good bit of their training is now taking place inside a headset.

Be fun it it was like grand theft auto
cruise around running people over with some 90’s ghetto radio station playing in the background

Pilots are required to log x amount of hours in flight simulators each year. Much cheaper (and safer) than doing it in the real world plus they are exposed to every possible scenario.

Looking to the future, together!
