XR unlocks new business value through an improved customer journey, optimized employee performance, and creating new content and services.

Engage, immerse and inspire with Extended Reality

Despite spending an average of $1,300 per employee annually on training, research proves that learners forget 70% of the content within 24 hours and nearly 90% in a month. It’s not surprising that over 90% of executives Accenture surveyed agree existing employee training methods need to be more effective for their workforce.

Engaging employees now means going beyond one-way training experiences to engage all the human senses. Typically, the more active the learning, the more effective the outcomes.

Immersive learning, an advanced form of active learning, uses technology to create fully simulated environments where learners interact with the experience—as close to the “real world” as you can get.
