Virtual Reality is transforming the way they learn, explore, and interact, especially as the pandemic has accelerated companies' digitisation strategies. With a global customer base and customers such as DHL, Nestlé, and bp, Immerse provides the enterprise technology that allows businesses to create, distribute, measure, and integrate all forms of immersive content using highly secure cloud-based systems. This partnership is part of an ongoing initiative from Immerse to build an ecosystem where the Immerse Platform will empower and enable organisations to embrace the future of training in the workplace.

Soft skills are an essential part of working effectively with others, but over the last year, their availability for learning, practising, and revising these skills in professional settings has been heavily disrupted. From resolving conflict to giving feedback or mastering job interviews, Bodyswaps' immersive training solutions allow participants to carry out repeated and applied autonomous practice in realistic yet psychologically safe environments. They are then able to watch their performance back from another perspective, receiving AI-enabled analytical feedback to further accelerate their personal development.

The initial library of Bodyswaps experiences to be made compatible and available through the Immerse platform include

Tom Symonds, Immerse CEO comments, "We are delighted to have partnered with the team at Bodyswaps. Soft skills are incredibly important, but can be difficult to teach and assess using traditional training methods, and this has been especially true over the past year. We're thrilled to be able to help Bodyswaps scale this content among organisations while providing data-driven insights."

Christophe Mallet, CEO at Bodyswaps adds, "We are very excited to be working with Immerse to help as many organisations as possible to revolutionise their soft skills training and thrive in a hybrid working world. Looking towards a future in which colleagues spend less time in the same physical space, soft skills will be even more vital to enable teams to communicate and collaborate effectively."
