Gemba, a corporate virtual reality training platform, raised $18 million in a Series A round of funding.
Gemba's virtual “masterclasses” includes subjects such as supply chain management and lean manufacturing.
“A Gemba masterclass is entirely interactive — it’s 3D, immersive, and we use the same software that 90% of video games are created in (Unity),” Gemba CEO Nathan Robinson said. “In Gemba, you can freely walk around, grab objects, participate in simulations — you can do everything you can do in real life, plus a load more that you can’t do in real life.”
