Beyond Game Engines: A Simpler Way to Create Immersive 3D Training

🚀 Introduction: Why Immersive Training Needs a Simpler Future

Immersive 3D training is reshaping how organizations prepare their workforce—especially in fields like automotive, energy, and manufacturing.
Yet, many companies still rely on game-engine-based tools (like Unity, Unreal Engine, or derivative authoring platforms) that require deep technical expertise, long development cycles, and complex deployment pipelines.

 

iQ3Connect takes a different approach.

Our web-based, no-code platform lets trainers, instructional designers, and subject-matter experts build and deploy immersive 3D training modules—directly from a browser—no coding or game-engine skills required.

 

In short: immersive training creation should be as easy as building a slide deck, and now it is.

🎮 The Traditional Path: Game Engines and Their Offshoots

 

1. High Barriers to Entry

Game engines were originally built for entertainment and gaming, not enterprise learning.
Even products “simplified” on top of these engines still depend on complex underpinnings that require:

  • Developers skilled in scripting and 3D asset management

  • Device-specific optimization for VR, AR, PC, and mobile

  • Dedicated teams to build, test, and deploy new versions

That means longer timelines, higher costs, and ongoing dependency on specialized talent.

 

2. Complex Deployment

Most game-engine-based platforms require packaging training experiences as stand-alone applications, with separate builds for each device or OS.
This creates friction:

  • Installers and updates on each headset or PC

  • IT bottlenecks for distribution and maintenance

  • Limited scalability across large or distributed teams

When training content changes—say, a new maintenance step or safety regulation—those updates must be rebuilt, re-tested, and re-deployed.

 

3. Maintenance and Version Control Challenges

Each new version of the software or hardware SDK can break compatibility, requiring updates to your content pipeline. Over time, organizations end up maintaining multiple versions of the same module just to keep pace with device changes—draining time and resources.

Being a web-based XR platform means that all a user needs is access to a standard web browser on any device. For IT that means that users can access content on their existing (already approved) devices, experiences are deployed on standard web browsers that are already supported, and there are no apps or software for individual users to download/IT to manage.

Management, technology, and team engagement

One of the biggest challenges at the outset of a project is securing and appropriately allocating funds for critical initiatives. This can be effectively addressed by approaching the company’s finances with the same care and responsibility as if they were your own, crafting pitches that emphasize ROI, and aligning your request with the priorities of program directors and executive leadership. 

 

“I am not trying to sell you a pie-in-the-sky idea, it’s something that can be measured and returned calculated”  –  Alejandro Mendoza

 

Presenting a clear business case that includes a detailed timeline, predicted ROI, and resource requirements, combined with transparency across all levels from the shop floor to the C-suite can expedite the funding process and facilitate project approval.

 

“What’s worked for me has been a business case. Coming to management with here’s our timeline, our predicted ROI, and the resources I’m going to need.” –  Bridgette Sieffert

 

For team engagement, exposure to new technologies can rapidly ignite innovative ideas, as demonstrated when mechanical teams use headsets to explore potential use cases. This hands-on experience not only excites the team but also generates creative solutions, highlighting the importance of having a presence on the shop floor. Engaging with engineers, technicians, and managers directly allows for the collection of valuable insights and ideas, opening up numerous opportunities for application.

 

Managing expectations and finding scalable solutions are crucial in this process. When presenting to management, the team should communicate that while custom development was initially necessary, using existing assets enables quicker turnarounds and more efficient resource use, showcasing both innovation and practicality.

 

The use of AR technology can lead to successful projects due to its cross-functional benefits. For instance, a 3D floating model of a satellite can be utilized by the design team, and mechanical engineers for reviews, and mission operations for spatial visualization. Leveraging corporate resources allows for broader application across different groups, garnering more support through multiple use cases.

 

To receive buy-in from all levels, customers need to be able to use existing resources to create content rapidly. iQ3Connect has focused development efforts in this area and earlier this year we released the newest version of our no-code authoring environment for XR training. The iQ3Connect platform is minimizing the buy-in hurdle by expanding the pool of potential personnel capable of authoring content (no CAD, XR, or graphic design experience required), optimizing content creation workflows (automated CAD to XR pipeline), and employing a cost-effective and scalable licensing structure (unlimited content creators and guests).

Roll out, adoption, and reception of XR across an organization

One of the biggest learning opportunities is generating excitement about using the headset- a new technology many haven’t tried. Presenting it in an appealing way helps technicians see its benefits. 

 

Utilizing, engaging and teaching strategies makes the technology easier to use, as people are unlikely to embrace something they find uncomfortable or confusing. 

 

When designing the rollout plan, it’s crucial to consider diverse age groups, from tech-savvy younger users to seasoned experts less familiar with rapid tech evolution. Creating a plan that effectively supports all age groups ensures a smooth introduction and broad acceptance.

Device selection and safety considerations

Ensuring safety in manufacturing requires technicians to be comfortable with headsets. Standardizing headset use on the shop floor can streamline training, as using a consistent lens reduces the need for extensive retraining when switching devices. Key features to consider include augmented reality support, ease of use, and compatibility with all systems. When addressing capability factors such as hardware and software compatibility with MR, it’s crucial to have a clear method and rationale for investing in various headsets.

Conclusion

The integration of XR technologies in aerospace startups offers transformative benefits, from enhancing design and training to improving operational efficiency. Insights from Tim Ventura’s interview with Alejandro Mendoza and Bridgette Sieffert underscore the importance of strategic talent acquisition, clear goal setting, and effective implementation of advanced tools.

Implementing XR Training to Achieve Business Objectives

 

Understanding the benefits of AR/VR training is not enough to ensure that an XR training initiative is funded or successfully completed. A systematic approach is required to ensure that the training initiatives contribute directly to the organization’s overall goals. Based on our most successful customer engagements, we have distilled this systematic approach into six primary steps:


Identify Business Objectives

Start by clearly defining the goals and objectives of the learning initiative and the organization as a whole. The learning objective should have a SMART approach: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. They should also align with your company goals, such as increasing employee productivity, reducing operational costs, enhancing customer satisfaction, or reducing errors.


Conduct a Training Needs Assessment

Evaluate the specific skills, knowledge, or competencies that employees need to achieve the identified business objectives. Determine any gaps in existing training programs that XR technology could address effectively.


Define XR Training Objectives

Based on the training needs assessment, establish clear and measurable objectives for XR training initiatives. These objectives should align closely with the identified business goals and specify the desired outcomes of the training program.

The next decision often involves choosing between standalone or tethered devices. Standalone XR headsets offer wireless, self-contained systems for maximum portability but can have limited capability to display complex 3D models. Tethered XR headsets which connect to a PC to leverage powerful graphics cards, provide higher-quality graphics and performance but are limited in their portability. Consider mobility, budget, graphical needs, and enterprise support when selecting AR or VR hardware so that it aligns with training objectives and user experience requirements.

 

Another important factor to consider is that the XR hardware choice may not be entirely in your control. Different groups and teams may already have XR hardware. As the hardware space continues to adapt and improve, new hardware may be acquired by the business. 

 

XR Software

Choosing the right software platform is crucial for the future success of any AR and/or VR training initiative. The software platform must offer a range of tools for creating immersive and interactive 3D environments and be compatible with the chosen (and or available) XR hardware. It must also be flexible enough to accommodate updates and modifications to the training content and be suited to the skill set of the training content creators. The most important factors to consider are:


Compatibility

Ensure that the XR software is compatible with your existing systems and infrastructure. Verify compatibility with operating systems, XR hardware, and other software applications used within your organization. Can the XR experience easily be deployed, managed, and monitored by your existing business tools? 


Scalability

Choose an XR platform that can scale to meet your organization’s growing training needs. Can the XR platform easily support 100’s or 1000’s of users? Can the trainers and content creators build and deploy XR training without extensive development or modeling skills? Can the XR platform leverage the existing IT and Administrative toolsets to eliminate duplicate efforts for user access and authorization?

 

Training Creation and User Experience

To ensure technical accuracy and cost-effectiveness, choose an XR platform that empowers the trainers, subject matter experts, and/or content creators themselves to create XR experiences. While high-quality visuals are appealing, the cost and time of creating them must be considered and balanced against their benefit for a given use case.
