A Purdue University review found that virtual reality (VR) improves manufacturing training by enhancing accuracy, knowledge retention, and safety while reducing material waste. It effectively simulates tasks like welding and forklift operations. However, high costs, limited accessibility, and a lack of industry integration hinder widespread adoption.
Most VR training remains confined to academic settings, with challenges like hardware discomfort and privacy concerns. Researchers emphasize the need for scalable, low-cost platforms and stronger industry-academic partnerships. Without coordinated investment and policy support, VR’s potential to revolutionize manufacturing workforce training may remain largely untapped.
