 VRSim at BakingTech 2016

Attendees at this year's BakingTech will have the opportunity to experience virtual reality training in the areas of welding, spray painting and home building.

"After experiencing training in a virtual setting, it became very easy for me to begin finding other applications for this technology.  There are so many technical things that are hard to teach and measure unless you invest in "real" hardware.  Virtual Reality opens the door to a new way of training, but also new ways for saving time and improving effectiveness." - Rowdy Brixey
