How to train with Bolverk XR
Here is a description of how training with Bolverk XR differs significantly from traditional training methods:
Understand your training options
Improve training quality
Most importantly, VR enables increased training frequency. Each trainee can repeat drills more frequently at no additional instructor cost or training facility expenses. This approach is more appealing to trainees, as they can practice drills more often, enhancing muscle memory crucial for accurate execution during high-stress situations.
Customisations
It cannot be emphasized enough: Bolverk XR enables customized training precisely tailored to your aircraft, with your specific equipment in their correct locations, and with drills arranged according to your specific procedures. The training can be adapted for different versions of the same aircraft, accommodating variations by having different drill versions for each aircraft variant.
Gone are the days when trainees practiced on models different from the aircraft they are training for, whether it's onboarding or recurrent training. This represents a significant enhancement in security.
Also gone are the days when equipment placement during training differed from its actual location in your aircraft, often due to rented training facilities.
More effective use of the instructor time
The Bolverk XR solution saves instructor time by:
Providing basic instructions through tutorials and ad hoc guidance based on your standard SOP for each specific drill.
Allowing repeated procedure corrections until the trainee performs the drill correctly.
Handling all registration and certification documentation automatically.
Ensuring all equipment is placed correctly at the start of each exercise (no cleanup after exercises).
This efficient use of instructor time allows them to focus on important aspects such as communication, team cooperation, and overall training improvement. It not only optimizes the cost-effectiveness of instructor time but also enhances motivation among instructors.
Training improvement with statistic reports
Training with Bolverk XR is data-driven, with all training data automatically recorded and included in comprehensive statistical reports accessible to instructors after each session. This allows for immediate course adjustments to benefit future trainees.
The statistical reports provide insights into training quality and can be filtered by various criteria such as:
Time periods (e.g., last 4 weeks or 1 year)
Locations (compare different training locations)
Aircraft types (compare performance across different aircraft types, e.g., time to find spare oxygen tanks)
Instructor performance (track individual instructor performance over time)
The system records data points such as failures, exercise completion times, number of exercises performed, and time taken to locate equipment during cabin visits.
This analytical capability significantly enhances understanding of how to improve training effectiveness, which is consistently positively received by our customers.
Improved team training
The team function in the Bolverk XR solution enables instructors and teams to train in entirely new ways.
Instructors can simultaneously train groups of trainees located at different locations, all participating together inside the same virtual aircraft.
Trainees can engage in team drills that require specific cooperation, which our solution facilitates and monitors seamlessly. Weak areas in team exercises, such as communication issues or individuals needing additional training, are easily identified and addressed.
Our solution provides realistic communication scenarios with background noise, adjusting voice levels based on the distance between communication parties within the virtual aircraft. This enhances the realism and effectiveness of team training exercises.
Home work training
With Bolverk XR, you can conduct drills not only in the VR universe but also in a 2D version on tablets or smartphones. This enables all course participants to complete assigned homework by practicing drills on their own devices at home before attending the course. This approach enhances course quality through increased repetition of exercises, saving valuable instructor time during the course for more critical aspects. Additionally, it optimizes the use of instructors and training facilities by reducing on-site course duration.
Feedback from our customers indicates that trainees appreciate this method as it reduces stress, allowing them to practice drills at their own pace from the comfort of their couches.
Furthermore, the system tracks whether all trainees have completed their preparation work before the course, enabling timely reminders to be sent to those who haven't. This ensures that everyone is adequately prepared for the training session.
Hand or eye tracking
With Bolverk XR, it's possible to measure and record all hand and eye movements (areas of interest) of trainees, which is essential across various drills requiring meticulous attention. This capability allows instructors to monitor and assess how thoroughly trainees engage with different aspects of their training, ensuring comprehensive skill development and readiness for real-world scenarios.
The resulting trainee attentiveness can be visualized using "heat-maps," which illustrate the intensity of viewing different areas during drills. This feature enables instructors to evaluate the thoroughness with which selected groups of trainees perform the drills, providing valuable insights into training effectiveness and areas for improvement.
