People don’t come into VR Training with a blank slate.
They bring with them specific expectations – or mental models – of how things should work based on all of their past experiences.
When someone puts on a VR headset for training, the first few minutes are crucial. If the onboarding is overwhelming or nonexistent, or the interactions are confusing, the learning stops before it even begins.
In this video, I’m kicking off a new series focused on the UX of VR Training.
Why is it that some VR training feels like a chore, while other training feels genuinely compelling? Poor VR Training design doesn’t just bore users – it can actively frustrate them.

Are you designing a cross-platform VR experience? Or are you thinking about converting your existing app or game into an XR experience? In this video I’ll be diving a little deeper into designing across XR platforms and technologies.
Training is one of the most popular use cases for XR – and one of the biggest burning questions out there revolves around how to create effective training for this emerging platform. In this video I’ll be diving a little deeper into the UX best practices for training in XR.
Virtual worlds can be overwhelming due to all of the things that fight for your attention. In the real world, we usually rely on our GPS and a maps app. We can apply that same principle to the digital world. Except in the digital world, we have a lot more possibilities for creative solutions. Featured

Problem to solve In most cases, people will not be spending a large amount of time in an XR headset, so it’s safe to assume that over time they may forget the various controller options needed to interact within a specific application. How can I remind people how to use the controllers during the experience?

This is where tooltips and memory cues come in. Tooltips Tooltips provide relevant information about an
These UX best practices are based on my own experience designing and conducting in-depth research and usability tests with target audiences on actual training simulations before launch. Regardless of the subject matter of your training simulation or whether the target audience is an XR novice or an XR expert, these foundational best practices will further
