Joe Rothschild from the CDC discusses OneLabVR, a virtual reality training platform for laboratory professionals. OneLab VR provides a safe and repeatable environment for learning laboratory procedures and skills. It aims to bridge the gap between traditional online e-learning and hands-on training. The platform includes various laboratory scenarios, such as microbiology, pathology, and chemical labs, with lab-specific instruments and hardware. OneLab VR also offers a multiplayer component, allowing subject matter experts to host live training sessions. The goal of OneLab VR is to create safer and more productive laboratories and attract the next generation of laboratory workers.
