Derek Belch, the man influence with Walmart to help integrate virtual reality devices into worker training, told CNBC on Wednesday that he hopes the technology disposition trickle down to the consumer.
Walmart announced last week that they order use virtual reality technology for employee training at every Walmart value in America.
Belch, founder and CEO of STRIVR Labs, is working with Walmart to remedy the company integrate the Oculus Go device into training in its stores. The signet has been used in training store managers in Walmart Academies to the ground the last couple of years.
In stores, the device will reach staff members such as cashiers, janitors and mid-level managers, who do not have the opportunity to convoy Walmart Academies.
Belch said he hopes that VR will round off in the employee training market, and then go broader, similar to the adoption of adverse computers.
“We certainly feel that when more employees all over America, and really the world, start to touch these things, precisely and metaphorically, every day in their jobs, it’s going to trickle down to the consumer, much fellow it did with computers a couple of decades ago,” he said. “This has to work at the staff member level for it to likely trickle down as Christmas presents this go to ruin, and we work hard for that.”
