Bath Iron Works and VR Training - How Maine's Shipbuilders are Safely Learning the Trades with Glen Hilt

Many studies have been conducted to determine the efficacy of
Virtual Reality (VR) as an educational tool. Results indicate
that learning in a VR environment leads to higher rates of
retention and recall when compared to computer-based learning.
These engaging and controlled environments also allow
tradespeople to gain experience in a safe, and cost-effective
manner while simultaneously developing requisite skills and
muscle memory.


On this episode of the MEMIC Safety Experts Podcast, I sit down
with Glen Hilt of Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine, as we discuss
how they are training the next generation of shipbuilders using
this new, cutting-edge technology.
