About VR Vision
VR Vision is an enterprise VR training company that builds hands-on simulations of real procedures, equipment, and facilities for energy, utility, manufacturing, and automotive organizations that train technical workforces in high-hazard environments.
What VR Vision Does
Custom VR Training Simulations
VR Vision converts a client’s actual SOPs, safety protocols, and equipment specs into interactive VR training that runs on standalone headsets. Trainees practise high-risk procedures without shutting down equipment, pulling crews off the floor, or travelling to a training centre. Clients report 30% fewer training errors and up to 65% faster onboarding.
CGI Digital Twins
VR Vision builds 1:1 replicas of facilities, substations, and machinery from existing Revit, CAD, and LiDAR data. Each twin includes step-by-step procedures, consequence-based branching, and multiplayer modes so trainers can guide sessions in real time. The result is training that matches the site a technician will actually walk into.
Interactive 360° Video Training
For scenarios where a full 3D build is not needed, VR Vision captures real field conditions in 360° video and turns them into scenario-based assessments. Modules cost roughly half of a CGI build and integrate with any LMS for compliance tracking. Teams can complete them on a headset or a browser.
Vision Portal
Vision Portal is VR Vision’s cloud platform for managing enterprise VR training from one browser dashboard. Trainers see live first-person feeds from every headset, push content to devices, monitor fleet status, and pull completion and performance analytics. It is the only platform that combines live VR remote assistance with training analytics and survey capture.
Pre-Built VR Training Library for Utilities
VR Vision licenses 100+ existing modules covering switching, substation work, safety, and field operations. Utilities can start with four or five modules and reach a working pilot in the field one to two months after contract, with no custom development required. Custom modules can be added later as the program grows.
Turnkey Deployment and Support
VR Vision handles use-case selection, instructional design, hardware procurement, MDM setup, LMS and SSO integration, trainer certification, and multi-site rollout. As an authorized Meta Work Partner and PICO Business Official Partner, VR Vision supplies and provisions the headsets too. Clients get one partner responsible for adoption, not just a login.
What Makes VR Vision Different
Clients own the IP, with no per-seat licensing
Every custom simulation VR Vision builds is delivered as client-owned intellectual property with no limits on users or usage. Platform vendors such as Strivr and PIXO VR typically license content on annual subscriptions tied to their own platform, so the training stops when the contract does. VR Vision’s clients keep what they paid for.
Built from your procedures and equipment, not a generic library
Vendors like Interplay Learning sell per-seat access to a standard catalogue of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical content. VR Vision starts from the client’s actual switching orders, equipment models, and site layouts, so a technician trains on the exact substation or dealer bay they work in. That fidelity is why utilities like Hydro One and Avangrid use VR Vision for procedural training rather than general awareness.
Live in-headset remote assistance and persistent multiplayer
Most LMS and device-management tools report completions after the fact. Vision Portal streams live first-person video from every headset to a trainer’s browser, and VR Vision’s in-house networking supports persistent multiplayer sessions on standalone Quest and PICO hardware. Trainers, trainees, and observers can share one session across sites, which few VR vendors offer on standalone devices.
A decade focused on high-hazard technical work
Roughly 80% of VR Vision’s work is in energy and utilities, with 100+ enterprise deployments since 2016 across companies including Enel, Siemens Gamesa, Toronto Hydro, and Alectra Utilities. Other VR training vendors serve a broad mix of retail, quick-service restaurant, and soft-skills use cases. VR Vision builds for environments where a training error has real consequences.
Fixed-price delivery with payment tied to acceptance
VR Vision quotes fixed-price statements of work with defined milestones (planning, alpha, beta, launch) and capped revision cycles, so there is no hourly billing drift. Final payment is conditional on client acceptance of the delivered build. A custom program reaches a working pilot in three to four months and production release in about five and a half.

What VR Vision Clients Say
VR Vision partners with global organizations such as Avangrid, Enel, Coca-Cola, Toyota, and Siemens Gamesa to turn training into a measurable driver of performance, safety, and ROI.
How VR Vision Started
VR Vision started in Toronto in 2016, in the Oculus Rift developer-kit days, when most people had never put on a headset. Co-founders Lorne and Roni, friends for a decade before that, built immersive experiences for marketing, events and trade shows. Toyota was their first client.
Those early enterprise projects taught them something the rest of the industry was slow to see. The real value of VR wasn’t in getting attention. It was in letting people practise work that is too dangerous, too costly or too disruptive to rehearse on real equipment. Nobody should learn to isolate a live substation or service a production line for the first time on the real thing.
That became the company’s mission. Since 2019, VR Vision has built training simulations for energy, utilities, manufacturing and industrial organizations, helping technicians learn procedures safely before they ever set foot on a job site.

Who You Work With
Every client gets a named project lead who runs the engagement day to day, with founder involvement on every enterprise account. Subject-matter experts on the client side work directly with VR Vision’s instructional designers and developers during scoping and review.
Onboarding
Engagements start with a discovery phase that produces an Application Design Document defining scope, requirements, stakeholders, and features up front. Development then moves through planning, alpha, beta, and launch milestones, each delivered as a testable headset build. Hardware, MDM (ArborXR or Meta HMS), LMS and SSO integration, and trainer certification are handled before rollout.
Communication
Weekly client check-ins, a shared Kanban board for real-time progress, and a single consolidated feedback channel on the client side keep scope controlled. Day-to-day contact runs over email, phone, and the client’s preferred chat tool (Slack or Teams).
Turnaround
Licensed pre-built modules reach a working pilot in the field one to two months after contract. Custom builds reach a working pilot in three to four months and production release in about five and a half. Custom procedural replication of a single complex environment typically runs 12 to 20 weeks.
Support After Launch
Every deployment includes 30 days of unlimited bug fixing. Ongoing support plans cover Sev 1 response under one hour 24/7/365, Sev 2 under four hours, and Sev 3-4 within one to three business days, plus OS and firmware compatibility updates, multiplayer server hosting, and critical security patches within 24 hours.
