From retailer Lowes, the Holoroom How To is a VR training course. Although VR technology has been used in the design and home space before, this is a much more immersive and interactive experience for homeowners. The training clinic teaches building and decorating skills with simulations and step-by-step instructions for different projects, such as shower tiling. Fittingly, it also tells you what materials you will need to buy. Haptic feedback via headsets and controls provide a hands-on approach to learning. Lowes also plans on using their findings from their three locations (two Canadian and one in Massachusetts) to better train staff on customer needs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Immersion VR Training:** Developing virtual reality training programs that provide an immersive and interactive experience for learners. - **Hands-on Learning:** Integrating haptic feedback and interactive controls in virtual reality training to create a realistic, hands-on approach to learning. - **Retailer VR Training:** Exploring the use of virtual reality training in the retail industry to enhance customer service and staff training. ### Where This Applies - **Home Improvement:** Leveraging virtual reality technology to offer DIY homeowners an immersive training experience for building and decorating skills. - **Education:** Integrating virtual reality training courses into educational institutions to provide students with hands-on learning experiences in various subjects and fields. - **Customer Service:** Adopting virtual reality training programs in the retail industry to better equip staff with the skills and knowledge needed to meet customer needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spatial Computing Kitchen Designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowes-style-studio.md) - [DIY Kid-Focused Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-depot-1.md) - [AR-Based Store Replicas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowes-1.md) - [Virtual Medical Training Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elara.md) - [VR Home Design Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/envisioneer.md) - [Metaverse Tech Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-demo-vr.md) - [3D Home Improvement Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowes-open-builder.md) - [DIY Project Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-depot-campaign-on-roblox.md) - [Room-Scanning Home Renovation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/measure-your-space.md)
