All you burgeoning chefs can get a chance to try your hands at frying up some chicken in the virtual space when you apply for a KFC job. The greasy food company developed a virtual reality training simulator as part of its employee training program. Running of an Oculus Rift, the game takes the user through the five-step process of preparing an Original Recipe chicken.
No word yet if Popeyes is partnering up with the HTC Vive, but at KFC, they do tech right.
MasterChef training starts here.
But why? The press release notes that this VR exercise takes workers through the chicken cooking process in just 10 minutes, as opposed to the 25 minutes it takes IRL, so perhaps the idea here is to speed up the training process (and to avoid potentially wasting product). Or hey, maybe somebody at KFC HQ just got a really good deal on a whole pallet of Oculus Rifts.
