Long Beach, CA – June 2025: What a week! As we pack up from Augmented World Expo USA 2025, we’re still buzzing with excitement from an incredible few days of innovation, connection, and inspiration. From unveiling our new immersive booth to launching cutting-edge products, giving VIP tours, and taking the stage to share our vision, AWE USA 2025 was an event we’ll never forget—and we’re thrilled to share the highlights with you.
Stepping Into the Future: Our Immersive Booth
This year, we wanted our booth to do more than showcase our technology—we wanted it to immerse visitors in the world of ForgeFX Simulations. Designed to reflect the realism and interactivity of our training simulators, the booth became a hub for hands-on experiences.
Attendees immediately felt a sense of presence and they entered, then strapping on headsets to operate virtual heavy equipment, troubleshoot machinery with AR and VR maintenance tools, and explore enterprise training environments designed for some of the world’s largest organizations.
"Your booth is one of the most engaging experiences on the show floor!" – AWE Attendees
