WOODLAND, WA, October 12, 2017— Industrial Training International (ITI) today announced that its virtual reality crane training simulator received the award for Best Use of VR in Education and Training at the 2017 VR Awards in London, England.
Considered the premier awards show for the VR industry, the black-tie affair on Monday, October 9th, was attended by senior executives from Google, Facebook, AMD and others, many of whom were recognized for achievements in their respective categories.
Accepting the award on ITI’s behalf was Pinky Gonzales, Director of VR and Online Learning. "The credit for this and its viability in the market goes to the people that train and educate and care about safety,” said Gonzales during the acceptance speech. Gonzales also recognized ITI’s development partner, Serious Labs of Edmonton, Alberta, and thanked everyone involved in the development of hardware and software solutions that make educational programming possible.
