360° Immersive Training
360° Immersive Training takes Dramanon’s drama based learning to another level, combining live actors, bespoke film, realistic scenarios and immersive technology to create powerful shared learning experiences.
Through our established relationship with the National Brownfield Institute at the University of Wolverhampton, Dramanon can incorporate its specialist 360 degree immersive Igloo environment into bespoke training programmes. This allows participants to experience realistic situations unfolding around them while exploring the behaviours, decisions and human factors that influence what happens next.
Bring Learning to Life with 360° Immersive Training
At Dramanon, we believe people learn differently when they become part of the story.
Our approach has always been about more than simply telling people what they should or should not do. We use professional actors, realistic scenarios, film and facilitated discussion to help participants explore situations, behaviours and decisions for themselves.
360° Immersive Training gives us another powerful way to achieve this.
Inside the immersive environment, visual content can surround participants and transform the space into a realistic workplace or operational setting.
Combine this with Dramanon’s live actors, bespoke film and facilitated learning and the result is an experience that can place participants much closer to the situation being explored.
Live Drama Meets 360 Degree Immersive Technology
Technology alone does not create effective training.
It is the story, the situation and the conversations that follow that turn an immersive environment into a meaningful learning experience.
Dramanon works with clients to understand their organisation, working environment, people and learning objectives before developing content around the issues that matter to them.
A 360° Immersive Training experience can combine:
360 degree immersive visual environments
Professional live actors
Bespoke filmed scenarios
Realistic workplace situations
Interactive drama
Facilitated discussion
Client specific learning objectives
Behavioural and human factors learning
Live performance and filmed content can work together, allowing events taking place around participants and interactions within the room to form part of the same experience.
This creates opportunities to stop, question and explore what is happening and, importantly, understand why.
Put Your People Inside the Scenario
Imagine placing your team inside a realistic workplace situation.
Something does not feel quite right.
Someone may be under pressure. A procedure is being rushed. Communication is beginning to break down. Perhaps someone notices a potential problem but decides not to speak up.
The situation continues to develop.
Then something happens.
Instead of simply showing participants the consequences and telling them what went wrong, 360° Immersive Training allows us to explore the chain of behaviours, conversations and decisions that led to that moment.
What did you notice?
When could someone have intervened?
Why didn’t they?
What influenced the decisions being made?
What could have been done differently?
What would you do if you were in that situation?
These conversations can turn a training scenario into something participants continue thinking about long after the session has finished.
360° Immersive Training for Safety and Human Factors
360° Immersive Training can be particularly effective when exploring workplace accidents, operational incidents and the human factors surrounding them.
An accident rarely starts at the moment something goes wrong.
Communication, leadership, assumptions, workplace culture, time pressure, decision making and people’s willingness to challenge can all influence what eventually happens.
By combining realistic scenarios with an immersive environment, organisations can explore these factors without exposing participants to real world risk.
Training experiences can be developed around subjects including:
Health and safety
Accident prevention
Human factors
Behavioural safety
Leadership
Intervention and challenge
Communication
Decision making
Psychological safety
Workplace culture
Operational risk
Speaking up and challenging unsafe behaviour
Every programme can be developed around your organisation and the situations your people may actually encounter.
From Your Workplace to an Immersive Environment
One of the most powerful elements of 360° Immersive Training is the ability to create scenarios that feel relevant to the people taking part.
Dramanon can work with your organisation to understand your workplace, procedures, challenges and learning objectives.
Bespoke film and scenarios can then be developed around environments and situations your people recognise.
This could mean recreating an operational setting, exploring the events leading to an accident or placing participants inside a difficult workplace conversation.
Rather than watching generic training material, participants experience situations designed around the issues that matter to their organisation.
That familiarity can make it easier to start meaningful conversations about behaviour, decisions and change.
Our Relationship with the National Brownfield Institute
Dramanon has an established relationship with the National Brownfield Institute at the University of Wolverhampton’s Springfield Campus, providing opportunities to incorporate its specialist immersive visualisation facilities into Dramanon projects.
The 360 degree immersive Igloo provides an environment in which visual content can surround participants, helping create a shared experience for groups taking part in training.
Dramanon can combine this technology with the elements at the heart of our approach: professional actors, storytelling, bespoke film, realistic scenarios and expert facilitation.
Dramanon does not own or operate the Igloo. Our relationship with the National Brownfield Institute allows us to explore its use as part of suitable client projects and wider immersive learning experiences.
More Than Something You Watch
Traditional training can tell people what they need to know.
Film allows people to watch a situation unfold.
Drama allows them to engage with it.
360° Immersive Training can put them inside the experience.
Bringing live performance, film and immersive technology together creates opportunities to explore situations from different perspectives, challenge assumptions and encourage conversations that may be difficult to create through traditional training alone.
Most importantly, the technology supports the learning rather than becoming the focus of it.
The objective remains the same: helping people think about their actions, understand the impact of their decisions and consider what they could do differently in the real world.
Create a Bespoke 360° Immersive Training Experience
Every organisation has different people, risks, challenges and stories.
Our 360° Immersive Training experiences can be developed around your organisation, your learning objectives and the behaviours or situations you want your people to explore.
Tell us what you want your people to understand, question or do differently and we’ll explore how Dramanon’s live drama, bespoke film and facilitated learning can be combined with the 360 degree immersive environment to bring your training to life.
