The Espace Numérique Sud Charente has presented Tiers-lieux et formation, a two-year project that uses immersive and interactive virtual reality capsules for career discovery. The 360-degree camera recordings cover four sectors facing labor shortages: construction, personal services, catering, and hot air balloon and aeronautics piloting.
360-degree capsules with quizzes that set the pace 🎯
Goupil Technology has enhanced the capsules with quizzes that increase the pace and interactivity of each session. The user, wearing a headset, observes gestures and postures for 10 to 20 minutes. 85 percent of the 120 to 150 testers understood the trade better after the experience. The initiative consolidates the third place as a space for innovation and career guidance, with short sessions that combine direct observation and active participation.
Piloting a balloon without leaving your chair 🎈
Piloting a hot air balloon with a headset has its charm: you save yourself the vertigo, the cold, and the conversations about wind and altitude. That said, if the quiz asks you about the correct posture in the basket, you’d better not confuse it with the couch position. Virtual reality brings labor-shortage trades closer without you having to move from your spot, which isn’t bad either.
