Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2017 -- Augmented and virtual reality offers a cost-effective and efficient solution in training and skill development as it replicates the real scenarios by using augmented and virtual reality enabled solutions. For instance, in civil aviation or military application, it is costlier to utilize an actual aircraft to train a pilot. Further, it could harm the humans as well. Whereas, augmented and virtual reality solutions create a virtual environment similar to the real world, where a trainee can understand and tackle challenges with strategic mapping. Moreover, in healthcare, training students or nurses or other medical professionals on live humans is unethical and could be harmful; thus, augmented and virtual reality-based solutions provide valid tools to train medical professionals without compromising and harming ones life.
