How to Transform Maintenance and Repair Training with Extended Reality
10:00 AM - 10:20 AM (20 mins)

Extended Reality (XR) is an all-encompassing term that groups three similar technologies: virtual (VR), augmented (AR), and mixed reality (MR). While XR is a field that has been in development in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) since the late 1960s, it has continued to see major advancements in recent years. XR is a transformative technology that offers a powerful solution to modernize workflows and enhance operational performance, by reducing costs, improving efficiency, and minimizing risks.
This session will explore the current XR landscape and share strategies of integrating XR into maintenance programs for impactful results.
- Optimize maintenance training with immersive XR technologies
- Reduce operational downtime and costs using XR-driven solutions
- Enhance skills retention and readiness through interactive learning
- Address challenges in deploying XR within defense environments
