Transforming Workforce Training Through Spatial Computing: Highlights from AES 2025
Last week at Augmented Enterprise Summit 2025 in Dallas, Texas, ForgeFX Simulations CEO & Co-Founder Greg Meyers had the honor of presenting his session, “Transforming Workforce Training Through Spatial Computing”.
The Augmented Enterprise Summit, expertly organized by BrainXchange, once again brought together industry leaders, innovators, and practitioners who are shaping the future of spatial computing for the enterprise. The event’s focus on real-world impact and measurable ROI made it the perfect stage for Greg to share insights drawn from ForgeFX’s 20+ years at the forefront of simulation-based learning.

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

Proven ROI from XR Training
Attendees at Greg’s session heard compelling, data-driven results achieved by ForgeFX customers who have implemented immersive training simulators:
-
⏱ 20–40% faster training vs. traditional classroom instruction
-
💲 20–30% reduction in fuel, maintenance & wear-and-tear costs
-
🚀 40–70% faster skill acquisition
-
💡 30–50% lower overall training costs
-
✈️ 30–60% reduction in travel and downtime
-
📈 20–50% acceleration in time-to-market
These metrics underscore what we’ve seen for years: simulation-based XR training delivers tangible, measurable ROI.
