Picture this…
It’s a late November morning in Montana. The weather has been cold and the roads are a little slick. You are driving east on I-90 with the morning sun is dead ahead. You do a visual mirror check, noting the traffic and an upcoming rock cut. Suddenly, an oncoming vehicle hits the ice, skids into the median and tumbles directly in the grass median separating both lanes of traffic.
How do you train a driver for this kind of scenario? Books and videos don’t really create the muscle memory you’d like your drivers to have. This is why VR Training is so effective and cost effective for teaching truck driver training.
IRIS by iMVR can give your drivers an opportunity to see and experience these scenarios. IRIS allows you to select different scenarios that help create muscle memory in your drivers reactions. VR training is an immersive experience. It puts the driver in the situation. Not watching but actually doing and reacting. Studies show that learners retain over 90% of what they do vs less than 50% of what they see.
In IRIS you set up the scenario, the driver(s) can repeat the exercise as many times as necessary with the video results being stored for training purposes and possibly corporate compliance. Our merger between technology and the trucking industry is changing how truck drivers are being prepared to face many of the challenges they face each and every day out on the road.

Vickie’s vision is to create a VR tool that will allow professional drivers to develop, repeatedly practice, and become comfortable with various driving techniques throughout their career. This understanding and comfort will create more confident professional drivers that will inherently lead to increased road safety.
