• Today, we live in a time where the virtual world
  is ruling the real world, and it won't be wrong
  to claim that virtual reality has taken over the
  real world. When we talk about the VO, it's not
  the gaming area and its use cases rather, it has
  become a part of the curriculum and emerged as a
  popular career option. Virtual reality experts
  are in great demand, and individuals are actively
  seeking professional certification in this field.
  The need for VR developers has also increased
  over a period of time. The VR industry revenue is
  expected to reach over 40 billion U.S. dollars by
  the end of 2020. This growing revenue indicates
  the growth of this industry and the
  ever-increasing demand for Virtual reality
  experts. Well, our point of discussion here
  includes why retail students are taking so much
  interest in virtual reality certification.

Virtual reality and real estate sector-

• The retail industry is one of the fastest-growing
  sectors, globally. They work on different
  methodologies that ensure better customer
  satisfaction and enhance the consumer experience.
  With technological hybridization, companies are
  now providing unique and memorable consumer
  experiences. People are using different
  technological tools for grocery shopping
  e-commerce websites are being actively used. But,
  with AR and VR, we are expecting the retail
  experience to transmogrify.
• As per the reports of Goldman Sachs, the market
  of virtual reality is expected to reach the mark
  of 1.6 billion by 2025. Reports also show that
  around 2/3rds of users would be using VR.
  Approximately 63 say that such technologies will
  change the shopping experience.

• When it comes to the use cases of virtual reality
  in the retail business, then there is a different
  spectrum of businesses that can benefit from the
  same. It can be used in planning, designing,
  recreating, and even enhancing the customer
  experience. With the help of VR, retail companies
  can also gain a competitive advantage over others.

Retail industries using VR for training and
enhancing consumer experience-

• If you are wondering that the use cases of AR and
  VR training in the retail business are the new
  kid in the block, then the fact is that Walmart
  has been silently working on this since 2017. The
  company started using the VR headsets at their
  training centers, aka Walmart Academies. The
  company has used this technology to improve
  employee experiences, assess workers' skills, and
  present new ways of training the staff.

• The company is using virtual reality to train
  employees to train their employees and prepare
  them to handle commotion when customers move in
  on sales day, or to assess how workers respond to
  angry shoppers. It is also used to ascertain
  which employees' skills are required to fill the
  middle management position. This clearly shows
  that virtual reality can not only help in
  improving the customer experience but at the same
  time, it also shows that companies can also
  benefit from the same.
• Walmart found that after using the VR tool for
  training, its employees performed better. And
  hence, virtual reality finds varied applications
  at different levels. Thus making it the
  technology of the future.

• Imagine if you can see yourself wearing a
  particular attire and how would you look in it,
  without actually wearing it well, that is
  amazing, especially after a pandemic, when people
  would be skeptical about every second thing
  around them, VR can be the probable solution they
  are looking for. This is just one example that
  we can quote another example that we would like
  to mention here is that of Lexus. Yes, this car
  manufacturing company gives its buyers the feel
  of driving the Lexus car without actually leaving
  the showroom. Isn't that amazing, this one just
  of the real-life examples where companies are
  using VR to enhance the customer experience.
• Many professional certification courses in
  virtual reality impact all the conceptual and
  practical knowledge about VR.

The Future

• The technological dependency will increase in the
  times to come, and so would be the need for
  individuals who can help in the seamless
  integration of new technological advancements. VR
  is one such technology, while many others in the
  league like AI, ML, etc.
• VR has become a popular career option many
  people associated VR with the gaming industry.
  Still, the fact of the matter is that it finds
  many uses across different sectors, and retail is
  one of them. Another area that can be transformed
  using VR is the education sector.
