The Metaverse may not have seen the expansion anticipated when it was heralded two years ago as the new growth horizon by Meta (Facebook), but virtual reality continues to be in demand in the training sector. Like many other dedicated solutions, this is the speciality of Uptale, a French start-up with 50 employees founded in 2017, which is growing at an annual rate of 50% and now has 200 corporate customers, including almost all companies in the prestigious CAC 40 index. The firm offers design, filming of real images on site, construction of digital modules integrated into a headset and deployment, particularly for onboarding, health and safety and training on new machines or technologies.
A collaboration built over time
In the same year, Orange launched a project to test virtual reality in training, at a time when the group was embarking on a drive to digitise its businesses.
