Paper-based trainings
More efficiently train people using modern, individual immersive methods
Training retention

Concern about safety
Increase safety in dangerous environments
Design Process
Let's think through
Facilitate design thinking sessions to brainstorm ideas and possiblities
Prepare for the training
Once identified the approach we managed to create a list of features we needed for the training and started putting together as a script (user journey)
Dress-up the mannequin (This was a fun)
A fun time to prepare mannequin for the training and placed the safety harness over. Once done, we managed to capture the set of images and short video tutorials
Build the user-centered training
Used Hololens 2, Guides, and designed the training as planned. This was something new to me but I managed to overcome the challenge with the help of my mentor :)
Test, iterate and knowledge share
Ran some user and usability tests with end-users and validated final edits with the client for the approvals. Once done, I knowledge shared with SMEs and handed over the app
Measure of Success Predicted
4x improvement to service time among employees who receive mixed reality training
25% boost in productivity, plus errors reduced to effectively zero, with directions and data given in mixed reality
