Alphanov's Pyla training center has been selected as a finalist for the Prism Awards thanks to its new virtual reality innovation: the Immersive Photonics Lab.
The Prism Awards ceremony is the most prestigious international competition for innovative photonics technologies. Considered the "Oscars of photonics", the competition takes place every year at Photonics West in San Francisco, and is organized by Spie.
Immersive Photonics Lab is a virtual reality application for photonics training developed by Pyla. Embarked in a virtual reality photonics lab, learners develop the procedural skills needed to master the professional technical gestures a company may require. This tool emulates all the equipment needed to train professionals and students, anywhere, anytime, and without risk of injury or damage to equipment.
Innovative from both an educational and technological point of view, the Immersive Photonics Lab facilitates access to the latest generation of photonics equipment. It contributes to the dissemination of training programs, particularly in response to the industry's shortage of skilled workers.
The advantages of this virtual reality technology are numerous:
- Enable distance learning.
- Multi-level learner guidance.
- Reduce equipment downtime for training.
- Reduce occupational risks for operators.
- Protect optical and mechanical components.
- Facilitate training implementation.
This new training tool has been nominated in the "Software" category of the Prism Awards competition. In view of the current health situation, this year's awards ceremony will take place virtually, on March 3, 2021.
Alphanov has already won this prestigious award in 2017 with the GoSpectro optical spectroscopy device.
