Description

Internal training tools - the mere thought of them can put anyone to sleep. Mandatory training is often associated with reading boring paragraphs of text, watching outdated videos, and clicking through multiple choice questions that fail to determine proficiency. With the amount of time and money we invest in training our employees, why do our tools feel like they're stuck in the PowerPoint era?

Fortunately, we are at an inflection point in our thinking and the technology available to us. Emerging technologies like XR, AI, and real-time 3D allow us to create original content faster than ever before. By using tools and techniques from games, which encourage learning and mastery through play, we can create more impactful training tools and experiences for employees.

This talk will focus on how ustwo and MGM Resorts put these ideas into practice using a digital twin of one of their flagship properties. We will discuss how we used game design and development principles, real-time 3D, and AI/XR tools to create a first-of-its-kind training tool. You’ll leave with tangible insights, principles, and practices on how to discover meaningful ways of deploying these technologies in your organizations - impacting efficiency, effectiveness, and the bottom line.

Have you ever needed help and wished that an expert could be by your side to guide you through a task in real-time? Augmented reality is reshaping the landscape of remote assistance and unlocking a multitude of new opportunities for frontline workers navigating assembly, maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, inspection, and training tasks.

Though numerous AR solutions exist today enabling remote assistance, little insight exists into the experience of users of these new solutions. We’ll discuss the current landscape of remote assistance in augmented reality including Magic Leap’s Assist application, and how AR solutions may provide opportunities beyond traditional solutions. We’ll also share feedback from frontline workers and remote experts, including insights from user testing and interviews.

Immersive soft skills training is one of the most significant untapped opportunities in the bringing mixed reality to the enterprise. When implemented, organization's learning and training processes scale, moving employees from the classroom into the real-world workforce faster. Combining mixed reality with generative AI, enterprise XR unlocks greater levels of efficiency, safety, and knowledge transfer while building mission critical skills in scenarios that span complex presentation, negotiation, leadership skills-building, one-on-one coaching, conflict resolution and customer support.

In this case study, we will showcase how Scoot Airlines, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines upskills employees in preparation for dynamic interactions with passengers. Leveraging their partnership with TeamworkAR, Scoot Airlines creates rich content experiences regardless of the technical level of the team, deploys XR-as-a-service, including content creation, best practice learning methodology, and device management and uses generative AI with a digital replica of the work environment in immersive 3D to accelerate and improve the quality of employee taining and drive operational efficiencies.

Technology is evolving quickly to bring XR capabilities into mainstream culture. The content in these systems need to be anchored properly to ensure correct and accurate display for consumers. Maxar’s high-resolution digital twin of the entire Earth is built with space-based data and machine learning, providing a foundational geospatial layer on which XR content can be connected to the real world. With Maxar’s digital twin, the entertainment industry can film movies in any location on Earth from one studio or scout global locations in virtual reality;video game developers can start with real cities as their canvas for building out new levels;industrial companies can train employees and rehearse operations before deploying in-field crews;the use cases enabled by this digital twin are only limited by the imagination.

Maxar will share the art of the possible with its digital twin and, together with its customers, Sturfee, will detail how this digital twin is anchoring a new, cutting-edge visual positioning system (VPS) that will enable the deployment of autonomous systems, the creation of enterprise maps and persistent digital advertising, among other uses.
