On this sponsored episode, we dive into the world of VR-based health and safety training with Ludus. You'll get a behind-the-scenes peek into my home HQ as I test five of their standalone VR/AR simulations — from firefighting to CPR and even recycling! I share honest, hands-on impressions of how they look, feel, and function, including what works, what could be clearer, and how gamified experiences like these can truly enhance engagement and learning.

(00:23):
headquarters also known as my home and
on this episode, you'll be seeing a little bit more of what you don't usually see beyondthese, well this is not really even a wall, know, this is what it is over here.
And you'll also be, we'll be looking into how I test five of their VR AR trainings, howthey look like, how they feel like.
I'll be diving into my raw, pure thoughts, how and why it works, and some of the bestpractices and what might not be clear for me in this.

(00:51):
Again, it is sponsored, but I'm also saying exactly what I think almost every time.
without further ado, please go ahead and hopefully enjoy this longer and sponsoredepisode.
And if you want to know more, please feel free to click on the links in the description.
However, if you are listening to this rather than viewing it through some form of video, Iwould strongly encourage you to hit pause and whether go to the other links provided,

(01:23):
which I will definitely be putting on the description so you can jump straight into ourYouTube channel or even on our webpage so that you can view the episode.
Again, this is VR AR training.
So.
it's going to be hard for you to really relate to almost an hour full episode of visualstuff going on.
Me describing those things without actually seeing.

(01:45):
So if you're listening to this, maybe hit pause and wait for another episode.
Look into our archive.
There's plenty of episodes you can hear at this point.
This one I would strongly recommend, know, taking a little bit of time, even if you justput it in the kitchen and you're watching it every now and then.
when you're gonna crack a laugh or you wanna see something, you'll have that available.
Whereas if you're running and you have your phone just listening, it's not gonna work outas well for you.

(02:08):
The experience is not gonna be ideal.
So again, without further ado, I will leave you to it.
I won't be publishing the whole episode on audio format, just not to give you thatsuboptimal experience and to invite you to actually click and go to our YouTube channel,
which...
By the way, if you haven't subscribed to, I would strongly encourage that for sure.

(02:30):
You can still listen to the episodes as usual.
However, you will also have the possibility of seeing me and or the guests interactingthrough those episodes.
So again, if you're not viewing this, you're hearing it.
In fact, I won't publish this on the video one.
This is just a secret Easter egg for you guys listening to just audio.

(02:52):
please go ahead and do this on video so that it can be a better experience for you.
