VR Training Case Study – Deutsche Bahn AG
• Deutsche Bahn, which has a
turnover of €40bn, manages
Germany’s railway
infrastructure, runs train and
bus services overseas. It
employs 200,000 people in
Germany and 100,000
overseas.
• The company was struggling to
find recruits in a labor market
affected by a significant fall in
the number of young people
entering the German workforce.

VR Training Case Study – Deutsche Bahn AG
• Deutsche Bahn AG used 3D-VR
films to allow potential
employees the chance to
“experience” different jobs on
offer before they apply.
• Candidates across the country
could experience driving into a
train depot and inspecting the
underside of DB AG’s flagship
320kph Intercity Express trains.
• The company saw an increase
the number of people applying
for jobs, reaching 12,000
applicants last year. Their VR
films were highly praised for
their quality.

AR Training Statistics
How effective is AR Training?
Research was conducted on students by the
Boston Research Group to test AR training vs.
traditional and screen based modes of
training, namely Desktops and Mobiles.
They were tasked with understanding
instructions through a tablet AR app and
assembling an aircraft wing.
Other sets of students were given the same
task, but provided only screen based
applications on the desktop and the tablet.
