XR for Improved Enterprise Training Outcomes
/Thanks to a global pandemic, increased tech capabilities, and a more globalized workforce, XR (the umbrella term for technology related to augmented, mixed, assisted, and virtual reality) is being rapidly adopted in organizations around the world.
XR is seeing some of its biggest adoption in staff training and development.
In XR, everything looks and sounds as if it’s real, which means the brain processes virtual reality as though it were a real experience. This increases retention, engagement, and is giving companies an early ROI.
