Virtual Reality

Train faster. Fail safer. Remember more. At dilium we design, build and ship Virtual Reality experiences for training and operations. With Spatial Computing (VR) we turn procedures, risks and checklists into immersive simulations teams can practice anywhere, anytime.

We started on early headsets like Oculus and Samsung VR and have evaluated dozens of devices over the years. Today we deploy across the best hardware on the market and advise clients on device strategy based on goals and budget. Not every use case needs a premium headset - the right tool is the one that maximizes outcome per euro.

Why VR for training

Independent research shows strong gains in speed, attention and retention when learning in VR:

• 4x faster to train than classroom and 4x more focused in-session, with learners 275% more confident to apply skills after training. (PwC, 2020)
• +8.8% higher recall compared to desktop learning in controlled tests. (University of Maryland, 2019)
• Systematic reviews report improved engagement and procedural skill acquisition in immersive setups vs traditional methods. (Computers and Education, 2020)

How we work

Every experience shares the same DNA at dilium: pixel-perfect design, a strong UX focus, adaptive AI logic and dynamic scenes powered by data-driven scenarios. Nothing is static because real work is never static.

Device strategy and support

We validate use cases and select the right headset for each roll-out across Meta, Pico and Apple Vision Pro. From proof of concept to multi-site deployment, we optimize for usability, cost-benefit and long-term maintainability.
