This is closely followed by design and planning (60 percent). Collaboration (36%) is a distant third, ahead of use in marketing and for trade fairs (34%). Around a fifth each cite remote maintenance (22%) and step-by-step instructions (19%). Sales comes in at 16%, training new employees at 10% and only 1% cite navigation or orientation assistance.<\/p>\n<p>From the perspective of companies using, planning or discussing the use of virtual reality, the main area of application is construction and planning (74%). This is followed by training, education and further training (61 percent), collaboration (46 percent), marketing and trade fairs (37 percent) and sales (14 percent). Bringing up the rear in terms of VR use is the induction of new employees (5 percent).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\">Further links<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitkom.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83d\udc49 www.bitkom.org<\/a>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><i>Graphic: Bitkom<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 29, 2024.
