O4 Virtual Reality Application (Virtual Construction Site)
Through a virtual reality application learners will be able to gain and practice new skills acquired though the new curriculum. Individuals will experience these applications at a realistic rate with virtual glasses. VR gives teams the ability to “see” a project site without traveling to it.
