Mixed Reality (MR) bridges the gap between physical and digital learning, offering L&D professionals a powerful tool to create engaging, interactive, and practical training experiences. By blending real-world environments with digital overlays, MR enables learners to interact with 3D models, practice skills in a risk-free environment, and receive real-time feedback. Whether for technical training, soft skills development, or complex simulations, MR is reshaping how organizations approach workforce learning. 

In this session, explore how hands-on MR experiences revolutionize training, increase retention, and drive measurable outcomes in L&D.
