Confronted with a global health crisis and social distancing mandates, demand for immersive technologies such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (collectively, “XR”) has reached an unprecedented high. As businesses, communities, and governments search for mission-critical tools, technology’s vital role in the future of work and education has never been more important.

• XR applications to provide advanced workforce training, both onsite and remotely
• Virtual learning vs. the in-person learning experience
• How the private and public sectors can work together to expand access to XR technologies across all communities
