Virtual reality FAQ: understanding WixAR step by step

What is immersive learning?

Immersive learning refers to the range of teaching methods that use these technologies to immerse the learner in realistic scenarios, promoting active practice, engagement, and retention. This approach is revolutionizing professional training, particularly in sectors where experimentation and repetition are essential.

What is mixed reality?

Mixed reality goes further: it combines the virtual and the real within the same headset, offering hybrid experiences where the learner interacts with digital elements while staying connected to their physical environment.

What is virtual reality?

Virtual reality (VR) is an immersive technology that plunges the user into a 3D digital environment, either computer-generated or filmed in 360°.

Cost of immersive training?

Costs vary depending on the hardware and content involved: expect anywhere from a few thousand to several tens of thousands of euros for a custom project. WiXar also offers more affordable ready-to-use modules (over 25 titles) — feel free to request a demo.

Who can support me?

No worries — WiXar and its partners support you from creation through installation and maintenance, including training, to ensure a simple, hands-on setup.

Does training take a long time?

WiXar's authoring tool is quick to learn, thanks to its documentation, online videos, and dedicated training.

Does it meet my business needs?

Yes, WiXar's immersive content is modular and adaptable to your specific methods, roles, and objectives.

Is remote training possible?

Yes: deploy simultaneously across multiple sites, even internationally. Each employee accesses their module via a unique link, and centralized tracking ensures unified oversight.

How do I create my 360 videos?

There are several types of 360° cameras ranging from €300 to €8,000 depending on your needs. By following the dedicated WiXar training, our teams can help you create your content.

Can the training programs be funded?

Yes: WiXar, Qualiopi-certified, allows funding support through OPCOs or other public funding schemes. Our team helps you put together the necessary paperwork.

What if my teams aren't comfortable?

No need to worry: voice interfaces, guide avatars, and intuitive interactions ensure a quick learning curve. Onboarding support can also be arranged.

Content creation time?

Development time depends on complexity: anywhere from a few hours to several months. WiXar also offers hands-on support, along with customizable, ready-to-deploy off-the-shelf content.

Benefits vs traditional training?

Immersive training (immersive learning) with WiXar boosts engagement, improves retention, and makes it easier to learn hands-on gestures — often with a better ROI than traditional methods.

Does WiXar train Soft Skills?

Yes, WiXar makes it possible to train soft skills effectively using its AI avatars, which can be contextualized and framed for each scenario. Unlike hard skills learned in school, soft skills are essential behavioral competencies: they relate to emotional intelligence (managing emotions, interpersonal relationships) and support productivity, wellbeing, and the professional development of employees. The AI avatars give personalized feedback at every interaction, making it easier to progress and train in real or simulated situations.

Ideal duration of a VR experience?

We recommend creating modules that last about 15 minutes. In this way, the user's attention is maximized. With WiXar, multiply experiences in the form of a series by focusing on a key point in each “episode”.

How does WiXar use AI?

WiXar's AI technologies make it easier to create scenarios, generate 360° immersive content, and guide learners through virtual avatars that handle voice recognition and speech synthesis, as well as automatic translation. These AI tools speed up design, personalize learning paths, and optimize the interactivity of immersive training. Most importantly, they generate real-time feedback at every step: this feedback is available in the tracking and analytics module, helping to support and personalize each learner's progress effectively.

How many users can collaborate?

It is possible to have up to 20 users simultaneously in the VR. If more users are needed, this can be considered upon consultation.

Is WiXar an authoring tool?

Yes, WiXar is a no-code authoring tool that makes it easy to create, edit, and publish immersive modules without any specific technical skills.

Can I try WiXar before I pay?

Of course! WiXar allows you to benefit from an accompanied test.

Is WiXar also an LMS?

WiXar has a dashboard and advanced tracking features; it can be used on its own or alongside an LMS to centralize training management.

Export possible to my LMS?

Absolutely! WiXar allows modules and data to be exported to external LMS platforms via SCORM standards, making tracking and compatibility with most platforms easy.

SSO available with WiXar?

Yes, SSO (Single Sign-On) integration is possible to simplify user login and secure access to the platform.

Risks with immersive headsets?

Some users may experience mild fatigue, discomfort, or nausea; recent headsets are optimized to limit these effects, and regular breaks are recommended. Studies estimate that around 5% of users are highly sensitive to cybersickness. For greater comfort or accessibility, WiXar is also available on PC or tablet, which is an excellent alternative that significantly reduces these risks.

Virtual reality and immersive learning are particularly well received by employees, especially Generation Z, who look for innovative and interactive methods. These technologies strengthen your HR strategy by boosting attractiveness, modern image, and innovation capacity, while motivating and retaining young talent.

Why do a POC with WiXar?

A POC (proof of concept) with WiXar makes it possible to quickly and cost-effectively test the instructional assumptions and user acceptance of the solution. It provides an opportunity to fine-tune the setup based on concrete feedback, demonstrate the added value to decision-makers, train an internal reference team, and validate the right performance indicators before a large-scale rollout.

Is anonymous tracking possible?

Yes, WiXar offers the option to launch authenticated sessions, ensuring individual, secure tracking for each learner. It's also possible to create anonymous sessions for testing or introducing the platform without collecting personal data, in compliance with data security and protection standards (GDPR). This flexibility ensures both user privacy and the security of their training journeys.
