At PAULEY, we understand the need to demonstrate the context of what we offer in relation to the environment in which we offer it. We also understand that to be successful we need to be able to show how effective our approach is, and how it can benefit our partners and customers.

Studies show that varying learning methods and materials improves the retention and recall of information and enhances the learning experience. The “learning pyramid”, sometimes referred to as the “cone of learning”, developed by the National Training Laboratory, suggests that most people only remember about 10% of what …

In a UK-first, the company delivering Britain’s new high-speed rail network is using augmented reality to train the staff who will eventually run the Old Oak Common ‘super hub’ – set to be one of the UK’s busiest and best-connected stations.

Old Oak Common railway station’s initial groundwork has started and full construction will begin later in 2019, but HS2 is harnessing augmented reality (AR) so that the station’s future staff can learn the skills required to make sure one of Britain’s busiest railway stations will run like clockwork from day one.

The pioneering project sees HS2 Ltd partner with …

The Rail Sector Deal – launched in December 2018 – brings together a number of initiatives that we’re intrinsically associated with.

At its heart, the mutual commitments between the rail industry and the government set out will allow more trains to run per hour by running trains closer together; deliver more frequent services and more seats and cut delays by getting trains moving more quickly after disruption.

The Sector Deal will enable companies to drive innovation, …

In our initial response to the call for evidence for the Williams Rail Review we spoke about the necessity to create and understand the environment in which companies like PAULEY need to be able to operate, with creativity; with innovation; seeking productivity improvements and being encouraged to do so by the big players and by Government. This is why the Sector Deal and Williams Review are critical – they provide that context, the environment where companies like PAULEY can succeed, without barriers to entry or progress, for the good of the industry, its passengers, its customers, its workers and the …

The recently announced Rail Review, led by independent chair Keith Williams, has been established to recommend the most appropriate organisational and commercial frameworks to support the delivery of the Government’s vision for the railway of having a world-class railway; working as part of the wider transport network and delivering new opportunities across the nation. Established by the Transport Secretary, the Rail Review will recommend the most appropriate organisational and commercial frameworks to support the …

At PAULEY, we understand the need to demonstrate the economic argument of doing something different. That’s why we’ve devised a method for understanding the cost differential between traditional, face-to-face (death by PowerPoint) training, and a more blended learning approach using Immersive Technology (Mixed Reality).

Our COST SAVINGS CALCULATOR aims to estimate the total cost of your current training that could be replaced with Blended Learning (VR / AR / Cad Enabled E-Learning) and provide an example price to develop a blended learning solution. This provides an illustration of cost savings, to help highlight the business case when compared with traditional …

In our last blog post, we showed you how to get started with HoloLens development and set up a development environment. In this post, we will be detailing how to build your first piece of content and deploy it to a HoloLens device. We will also be covering how to construct some interactions using pre-made components contained within the HoloToolkit.
The main aim for this blog post is to get a basic application, that contains two objects and an interactive button which toggles the states of these objects, built and deployed to a device for testing. At the end of …
