Knauf Academy VR Training Platform
Immersive VR training solution that accelerates customer education in insulation installation techniques across residential and commercial environments.
When Knauf Insulation—a global leader with 40,000+ employees across 90 countries—needed to scale customer training beyond traditional methods, they required more than incremental improvement. I contributed strategic framework development and technical validation for a comprehensive VR training platform that transforms how construction professionals learn complex installation techniques. The challenge was creating realistic job site simulations that could deliver measurable learning outcomes while being accessible across diverse geographic markets and skill levels.

My role centered on validating the strategic framework and technical feasibility for immersive learning at industrial scale. Working with Knauf's Academy team, I helped establish the behavioral science foundation that made VR training 4x faster than traditional methods while achieving 3.75x higher engagement rates. The platform development required careful technical validation to ensure realistic job site simulations could effectively teach complex insulation installation techniques across both residential and commercial environments, while remaining accessible to diverse user skill levels and technological capabilities.
