Lowes realized consumers weren’t finishing their home improvement projects and wanted to help change that. “The aim of the Holoroom How To program was to teach customers basic do-it-yourself skills, such as supplies needed for a project and steps to complete one. [As a result], Lowe’s found that customers have about a 40% greater retention of steps to complete a project when using the virtual reality training.”
And they’ve now extended this training to employees, to teach them how to use in-store equipment. 90% of the 400 employees it’s been deployed to so far have reported beneficial results.
