Training may be the most popular XR application today. It seems every week we hear of another company integrating XR into their corporate learning program, and for good reason: VR in particular provides trainees with essentially unlimited do-overs to practice skills in a safe space. Moreover, XR training can be delivered anytime, anywhere. In this session, learning and development leaders discuss how they are leveraging AR/VR/MR to:
- Remotely train and onboard staff
- Train for hazardous environments and tasks
- Train for undesirable and emergency scenarios
- Replicate hands-on equipment training
- Learn on the job
- Deliver continuous and soft skills training
- Provide responsive, personalized training content using AI
- Capture and transfer institutional knowledge
- MORE: Costs and challenges of XR training, advantages over traditional methods (time to proficiency, retention, etc.), incorporating AI (ex. AI agents, AI-generated content), value of haptics, XR training at scale, recruitment, etc.
