[Why you should be incorporating AR into your learning solutions \>\>](https://www.zappar.com/blog/why-you-should-be-incorporating-ar-into-your-learning-solutions/)

If you are already convinced but need some inspiration, this is the blog for you.

## AR for Onboarding and Induction

Onboarding is one of the best ways to test and learn augmented reality within your learning solutions to provide greater personalisation when introducing new employees to your company. 

**1. The ‘CEO Experience’**

Create an alpha channel video or 3D avatar of your CEO or founders to give new joiners a more personalized introduction to key stakeholders. 

**2. Virtual Tours**

Offer employees a guided tour of your office space, factory or shop with AR providing information about different areas and facilities, using 360 video and hotspots.

**3. Orientation Training**

Give your new hires access to interactive modules that help them get familiar with company policies, values, and culture. Bringing your HR or leadership to life with the Alpha video is a great addition to these types of experiences.

## AR for Skills Development and Enhancement

**4. Simulated Skill Training**

Your employees can practice and hone their skills in a safe, simulated environment, using 3D models, video and interactive hotspots. This is especially beneficial for roles that require handling complex equipment or machinery.

**5. Soft Skill Training**

AR can simulate various scenarios to help employees develop soft skills, like communication and leadership, by interacting with virtual characters.

## AR for Product Knowledge and Sales Training

**6. Product Demonstrations**

Your sales teams can use AR to demonstrate product features and benefits in a more interactive way, enhancing the engagement and retention levels of the training.

**7. Interactive Product Materials**

Your employees can access interactive product materials such as leaflets, manuals or presentations that provide in-depth information and visual demonstrations, aiding in better understanding and retention.

## AR for Safety and Compliance Training

**8. Safety Simulations**

Make sure your employees are trained in safety protocols, AR can simulate potential hazards and help them learn how to avoid or mitigate them in a realistic but controlled environment.

**9. Emergency Response Drills**

AR can help in conducting realistic emergency response drills, allowing your employees to practice their roles in crisis situations without real-world risks.

## AR for Collaborative Learning and Team Building

**9. Collaborative Learning Spaces**

AR can create virtual collaborative learning spaces where your employees can work together on projects or learn new skills, fostering teamwork and collaboration. This is especially beneficial in the new world of hybrid working.

**10. Team Building Activities**

AR can be used to design interactive team-building activities, encouraging cooperation and fostering a healthy team dynamic. AR scavenger hunts can be perfect for this.

## AR for Performance Support

**11. Just-in-Time Learning**

AR can provide just-in-time learning, where your employees can access information or guidance right at the moment of need, enhancing their performance and productivity.

**12. Interactive Performance Dashboards**

AR can create interactive performance dashboards, helping you and your employees to track and analyze their performance in real-time, facilitating continuous improvement.
