Transforming Workforce Training Through Spatial Computing, Augmented Enterprise Summit 2025

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.

Training Tomorrow’s Workforce Requires Innovation Today

Training tomorrow’s workforce requires innovation today—and that’s exactly what we strive for at ForgeFX Simulations. For more than 20 years, our team has been pioneering the use of spatial computing, VR, AR, XR, and digital twin technologies to help organizations reimagine the way they train, learn, and perform.

Our new demo reel is a showcase not only of the incredible work done by the ForgeFX Simulations team, but also of our amazing clients and partners whose vision and trust make these projects possible. From heavy equipment and energy to healthcare, aviation, and defense, we’re proud to work alongside industry leaders who are embracing immersive training to drive safety, efficiency, and performance.

What makes me most proud is how ForgeFX Simulations goes beyond building lessons—we deliver true-to-life simulators that provide long-term value for our clients, whether by enhancing workforce readiness, reducing risks, or accelerating sales cycles. Together, we’re setting a new standard for immersive learning.

ForgeFX Simulations: Immersive Training & Spatial Computing Solutions

ForgeFX Simulations is a San Francisco–based developer of custom immersive training simulators and real-time 3D applications. We specialize in spatial computing, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and digital twin technologies, delivering high-fidelity interactive 3D training solutions for enterprise and government clients worldwide.

We serve industries including heavy equipment, energy, healthcare, air transportation, and defense, helping organizations reduce risk, improve learning outcomes, lower costs, and drive sales.

Learn by Doing with XR Training

The most effective way to learn is by doing. ForgeFX’s immersive training platforms place users directly inside life-like, interactive environments where they can practice critical tasks safely and repeatedly. With XR simulations, learners gain the confidence, experience, and decision-making skills they need—without the risks, expenses, or downtime of real-world training.

Industry Applications

  • Heavy Equipment & Construction: Virtual operator training for excavators, earthmovers, and many other pieces of machinery.
  • Energy & Utilities: Safe rehearsal of drilling, maintenance, and emergency procedures.
  • Healthcare: Medical training simulations with lifelike patients and procedural practice.
  • Air Transportation & Aerospace: VR flight and ground crew simulators for aviation and defense.
  • Defense & Public Safety: Mission rehearsal, tactical training, and equipment operation in secure virtual environments.

Business Value: Reduce Costs, Improve Safety

Simulation-based training eliminates the high costs of fuel, materials, and equipment wear while protecting learners from hazards. Organizations benefit from scalable, repeatable, and measurable training that gets teams job-ready faster, with fewer incidents and lower operating expenses.

Drive Sales with Interactive Simulators
Simulators aren’t just for training—they’re also powerful sales enablement tools. By giving prospects the chance to virtually operate equipment or experience a product, companies can shorten sales cycles, increase buyer confidence, and differentiate themselves in the marketplace. Offering a simulator alongside your product delivers a competitive advantage that boosts sales and customer satisfaction.

Cutting-Edge Technology
ForgeFX builds solutions using leading platforms like Unity and Unreal Engine, with support for hardware like Meta Quest, Pico, HTC Vive, Apple Vision Pro, and AndroidXR. Our digital twins replicate real-world equipment and environments with precision, enhanced by accurate physics, responsive controls, and hardware integration for true-to-life training.
