Challenge
Pro-ductions previously used the Meta Quest 2 for their training programs but faced several limitations. They needed a high-quality VR solution compatible with the Meta environment, at least 5K resolution to display their 8K video content, the possibility to navigate without controllers, and 6DOF capability to make interactions possible within the training environment.
Solution
VR Expert provided consultation on hardware and software options. Among the recommended alternatives was the Meta for Work hardware and software combination, with Meta Quest 3 headsets, Meta Quest for Business MDM software and the Shared Mode add-on license. Thanks to VR Expert’s trial program, Pro-ductions was able to test the recommended hardware and software before committing to a final decision.
In their choice for Meta for Work, Meta Quest 3’s high-resolution visuals, the 6DOF capability and integrated tracking were crucial for Pro-ductions’ high-quality training content; allowing users to navigate the training environment without controllers and consequently making sessions more realistic and engaging.
The switch from their existing Meta Quest 2 fleet to Meta Quest 3 was, also in practice, smooth due to compatibility.
The selected MDM software, Meta Quest for Business with Shared Mode, Meta Quest for Business with Shared Mode allowed easy setup and use of headsets, allowing multiple people to use the same devices without needing a login-step for each session, a factor that had weighed in on the choice for Meta for Work.
Additionally, remote headset management features enabled distribution of the training content and updates across multiple devices, ensuring consistent experiences for all users.
Conclusion
Pro-ductions effectively utilized the comprehensive Meta for Work solution, combining the Quest 3 headset with Meta Quest for Business and Shared Mode, to roll out engaging and high-quality training environments, successfully addressing their challenge of drug prevention education at harbors.
