#1about 2 minutes
Introducing implicit learning for behavioral change
Traditional explicit instruction fails to change behavior, but implicit learning through feeling offers a new, more effective approach.
#2about 2 minutes
The limitations of traditional unconscious bias training
Research shows that conventional DEI training often fails to produce positive workplace effects because people resist being told what to do.
#3about 2 minutes
The neuroscience of virtual body ownership
The rubber hand illusion demonstrates how the brain can accept a fake limb as its own, a principle extended in VR to create full-body embodiment.
#4about 3 minutes
Reducing cognitive and social bias through embodiment
Embodying different VR avatars, such as Einstein or a person of another race, can improve cognitive performance and reduce implicit biases.

Changing police behavior by meeting your virtual self
A study with US police showed that experiencing an interrogation from the other side and seeing their own behavior replayed dramatically increased intervention rates.
#6about 1 minute
Practicing bystander intervention in a safe VR environment
VR simulations allow employees to safely practice intervening in challenging situations, building an "allyship muscle" without real-world risk.
#7about 3 minutes
Measuring the effectiveness of implicit VR training
Unlike traditional methods, VR training allows for precise measurement of behavioral change through data on voice, gaze, and movement.
#8about 2 minutes
Using AI to create adaptive and inclusive VR experiences
AI can personalize VR training by adapting scenarios in real-time based on user behavior to maximize learning outcomes and foster inclusivity.
#9about 1 minute
The significant impact of VR on police intervention
The police study revealed a jump in intervention probability from 23% to 79%, proving VR's power to change not just attitudes but actual behavior.
