From concept to competing at iKhiến 2024 

FPT’s iKhiến 2024 competition has witnessed the impressive participation of akaVerse with their groundbreaking initiative, akaVerse Immersive Training, a revolutionary solution in the field of VR/AR training. The journey of akaVerse in the competition is not only a story of creativity and innovation but also a testament to relentless effort and determination to achieve success. 

The idea for Immersive Training originated from the real need to enhance the quality of training in various fields. akaVerse recognized that traditional training methods often face limitations in effectively conveying knowledge and skills. This posed a challenge: How to create a realistic and dynamic learning environment in enterprises, enabling learners to absorb knowledge quickly and effectively? 

From the outset, akaVerse encountered numerous challenges in development. One of the biggest challenges was integrating advanced technology into a comprehensive training system, which required a significant investment of time and resources. Also, optimizing user experience to ensure the training process’s realism and effectiveness was another difficult problem to solve. 

Furthermore, akaVerse faced the challenge of making the product easy to use and adaptable to businesses across various fields. Ensuring authenticity and effectiveness in virtual reality experiences demanded meticulous attention to detail, from visuals to sound, and interaction to perception. Therefore, the akaVerse team continuously learned and refined their ideas to ensure the product was perfected to the highest standards. 

However, akaVerse also had certain advantages in their journey. Their fortune mainly stemmed from having a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals in the field of virtual reality technology. The team’s determination and collective support provided strong motivation for akaVerse to overcome obstacles and complete the product on schedule.

This solution will help businesses enhance employee capabilities, adapt to new technologies, and improve workflow processes. Therefore, akaVerse’s initiative is not just a technological achievement but also a symbol of relentless innovation in the digital age. 

“This has been a significant challenge for us, but also an opportunity to showcase our creativity and innovation. We set high goals and worked tirelessly to make akaVerse Immersive Training a standout solution that can revolutionize how virtual technology is applied in training” shared Mr. Do Son Tung, CTO of akaVerse.
