VR collaboration is one of SkyReal’s strong points since you have the opportunity to work and interact with several people simultaneously in the same virtual world (also called the industrial metaverse) with a VR or non-VR headset and from a distance.

What is virtual reality for design and industry? 

Virtual Reality is a new digital tool that allows industries to be more efficient and to accelerate the construction of tomorrow’s world. At SkyReal we are convinced that the world is living a digital technological revolution, led by the world of video games and social networks (the famous concept of metaverse). At SkyReal, we want to make these new technologies available to the industrial world and accompany this radical change from the design of systems to the training of technicians through production and sales. 

What level of training is required to use SkyReal products?  

A few hours are sufficient to learn the basic engineering functions, and a day or two is sufficient to master the entire solution.
