The future of extended reality (XR) just arrived. Join us for a demo-packed session to learn how industry leaders onboard, upskill and reskill their workforce with virtual practice spaces that mirror their real-life workplaces: 

• U.S. Navy sailors practice submarine skills at the point-of-need in virtual reality (VR) headsets and on handheld gaming PCs
• Leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, Novartis, Takeda and Bristol Myers Squibb onboard lab technicians at scale in real-time rendered cleanrooms
• Daikin demonstrates its HVAC products in action on a virtual rooftop
• The finishing trades union lets recruits experience a dream career through hands-on immersion on a construction site

In this session you will watch hyper-realistic 3D rehearsal studios that provide intense, deliberate practice at the edge of users’ comfort zones and feedback loops to hone skills. Students and instructors can collaborate on tasks, working shoulder-to-shoulder, just like in real life, learning with and from each other in the performance environment. 
 

Bring your questions as we explore how the barriers between the physical and digital worlds are blurring with immersive and collaborative learning. The real-life cases and demos will inspire insights as you consider how XR learning can reduce training costs, improve job performance, and boost engagement in your organization.
