A Warm Thank-You to the AES Community

We want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to BrainXchange for curating such a well-run and inspiring summit.

We’re also grateful to the attendees, fellow speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors whose thoughtful questions and lively discussions made Greg’s session both a joy to deliver and a privilege to share. The enthusiasm in the room reflected a shared commitment to transforming how workforces learn and perform in the field.

Greg’s Talk: Spatial Computing in Workforce Training

Greg’s session explored how augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and spatial computing are driving a step-change in workforce training across industries.

Drawing from ForgeFX’s decades of experience designing immersive simulators, from some of the first commercial VR simulators for Komatsu to today’s AR solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense, Greg demonstrated how spatial computing:

• Accelerates skills acquisition by immersing workers in realistic, consequence-driven scenarios

• Improves safety by allowing users to make mistakes in a risk-free environment

• Reduces operational costs by cutting down on fuel, maintenance, travel, and downtime

• Delivers faster time-to-market for critical operations

It was inspiring to connect with colleagues, customers, partners, competitors, manufacturers, and innovators—all united by a shared drive to push immersive technologies forward. It was genuinely inspiring to connect with colleagues, customers, partners, competitors, manufacturers, and innovators—all united by a shared drive to push immersive technologies forward. What stood out most was the collective recognition that spatial computing and XR training have moved far beyond proof-of-concepts: they’re now mission-critical tools for workforce readiness and industrial efficiency.

Throughout the three days of the Augmented Enterprise Summit, conversations consistently circled back to the same themes—safety, skills development, and scalability. Manufacturers discussed how immersive simulators are helping them reduce training times by as much as 30–50% compared to traditional classroom instruction. Several enterprise leaders noted that XR-based training has cut costly on-the-job mistakes and rework by up to 40%, delivering measurable ROI within the first year of deployment. We discussed how our customer teams are reporting a 25% reduction in equipment damage incidents after integrating simulator-based refresher training. We cited XR’s ability to bring new hires up to speed twice as fast while maintaining high safety standards. Meanwhile, our healthcare and biotech customers use XR as a bridge for onboarding technicians in clean-room environments—where every mistake carries significant cost and compliance risk.

ForgeFX Simulations Delivers XR Training to Meta at Augmented Enterprise Summit 2025

These events empower the ForgeFX team to meet competitors and rivals in a forum that is less like a contest and more like participating in a collective mission. This year, the industry’s tone was one of collaboration over competition, driven by the shared understanding that for XR to achieve its full potential in the enterprise, we need interoperable standards, accessible hardware, and a strong ecosystem of developers and integrators.

Equally energizing was the presence of hardware manufacturers and platform providers who are rapidly closing the gap between consumer-grade devices and enterprise-class durability. The latest headset models showcased last week offered higher-resolution optics, wider fields of view, improved pass-through cameras, extended peripheral support, and lightweight hardware—features that just a few years ago required expensive custom hardware. These advances open the door for wider adoption in industries like construction, energy, and heavy equipment where ruggedness and field-use reliability are non-negotiable.

ForgeFX Simulations Proud Sponsor of Augmented Enterprise Summit

We’re grateful to everyone who stopped by the ForgeFX Simulations booth to experience our simulators firsthand, share the challenges their organizations face, and explore how XR training solutions powered by ForgeFX Simulations can help solve those challenges. 

Thank you to everyone at Augmented Enterprise Summit, from ForgeFX

We’re looking forward to building on these conversations and collaborating with many of you to bring immersive training simulation solutions to life across industries. If you didn't get a chance to speak with us at the event, please contact us now: https://forgefx.com/contact/
