A lot of these companies are leveraging XR-based immersive learning platforms that have been developed with XR technologies. Immersive training solutions provide trainees with a “hands-on” learning environment that is realistic, scalable, dynamic, and which has proven to deliver greater learning retention.
Talespin’s immersive learning platform enables the creation and distribution of immersive learning experiences. It also features an ecosystem of learning content creators, XR hardware partners, enterprise customers, and leading learning platforms.

There are also advances in device, computing, and connectivity that now allow companies to try out new and innovative learning approaches.
