Jollygood's Revolutionary Micro Training Solution: Reel Check

In a remarkable advancement for educational training, Jollygood Inc., a Tokyo-based company specializing in high-precision virtual reality (VR) solutions for the medical and welfare sectors, has unveiled the 'Reel Check.' This innovative platform automates the generation of various learning themes from 360-degree workplace videos, facilitating true personalized learning experiences.

What is Reel Check?

'Reel Check' is designed to harness the popularity of short video formats like Instagram Reels and TikTok, allowing users to easily access educational content related to their work. With the aid of AI, the system analyzes VR footage captured from various work environments, automatically identifying key learning points such as staff placement, equipment operation, and workflow processes. This information is then transformed into easy-to-consume short videos, typically lasting between one to three minutes, optimized for smartphone viewing.

By shifting away from traditional lengthy training videos, 'Reel Check' offers a streamlined approach to skill acquisition, enabling employees to learn efficiently and effectively through quick sessions tailored for immediate application.

The Surge of Short Video Viewership Among Youth

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, younger generations are increasingly turning to short videos for information intake. Recognizing this trend, Jollygood developed 'Reel Check' at a prime intersection of three booming markets:
1. Short Video Market: Projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.80%, reaching $2.89 billion by 2029.
2. Micro-Learning Market: Expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.13%, totaling $4.87 billion by 2029.
3. VR Training Market: Forecasted to expand at an impressive CAGR of 18.2%, potentially hitting $65.5 billion by 2032.

Combining these three booming market trends, 'Reel Check' is set to deliver an innovative and highly effective educational solution.

Addressing National Workforce Training Challenges

Japan’s workforce is facing significant challenges as industries grapple with an acute lack of training resources. According to a report by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, turnover rates for young employees are alarmingly high, with approximately 30% in manufacturing and over 50% in services leaving within three years, primarily due to difficulties in skill acquisition and a shortage of qualified trainers. This phenomenon is leading to annual economic losses estimated at ¥1.2 trillion, particularly affecting small and medium enterprises where a lack of mentors leads to untransmitted skills and contributes substantially to workforce shortages.

With an aging skilled workforce on the verge of retirement, there is a looming risk of losing approximately 3.5 million skilled technicians and knowledge within the next five years.

Innovative Features of Reel Check

The standout feature of 'Reel Check' is its ability to automatically generate multiple learning themes from workplace 360-degree videos — a process currently pending patent approval. Unlike human visual perception, which is limited to 30 degrees horizontally and 20 degrees vertically, 360-degree footage captures information from all angles, yielding about 12 times the informational volume. Jollygood’s proprietary behavioral analysis AI processes this substantial data, effectively extracting numerous learning points relevant to training.

Example Learning Points Extracted by AI

• - Medical Training (Operating Room, Emergency)

- Procedures for preventing needlestick injuries
- Key points in infection control
- Safety checks for medical devices

• - Manufacturing

- Safety postures during machine operations
- Hazard recognition training
- Proper usage of personal protective equipment (PPE)

This innovative approach drastically enhances learning efficiency, evolving traditional education into a form better suited to modern needs and preferences.

Fully Integrated Learning Cycle with JOLLYGOOD+

'Reel Check' is designed to seamlessly integrate with Jollygood's existing VR educational platform, 'JOLLYGOOD+.' Combining these services opens the door to a comprehensive learning experience where foundational skills learned through 'Reel Check' can be furthered through practical training in the VR environment, creating a cycle that reinforces knowledge with hands-on experience.

The Promise of Customized Learning

As education evolves to meet diverse learner needs, 'Reel Check' stands out by enabling real-time adaptability in training materials. The abundant information gleaned from 360-degree videos, coupled with AI-driven analysis of viewership patterns and understanding levels, allows for the instantaneous generation of tailored content that addresses individual learner characteristics.

Anticipated Social Impact
