XR Training: How Extended Reality Supercharges Brain-Based Learning

William Attardi on November 25, 2025

In today’s fast-paced digital workplace, organizations are searching for more effective ways to skill and reskill their workforces. Extended reality (XR), which encompasses Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Augmented Reality (AR), offers an immersive and highly effective alternative. These XR technologies are not just more engaging—they also work in harmony with how the human brain learns best. Neuroscience shows that experiential learning—learning by doing—activates multiple regions of the brain at once. XR places learners in a simulated environment that mimics real-life scenarios, tapping into the brain’s natural mechanisms for spatial and sensory learning. This immersive context not only minimizes distractions but also enhances focus and recall through contextual cues that the brain retains as lived experiences.

The Genesis of the U.S. Space Force – On December 20, 2019, President Donald Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2020, officially creating the United States Space Force, a new and independent branch of the U.S. military. The establishment of the Space Force marked a historic shift in how the U.S. views and manages its military operations in space, reflecting the growing importance of space as both a domain of strategic competition and national security. The Space Force is tasked with ensuring the U.S. maintains its superiority in space, focusing on both the defense of space assets and the development of offensive capabilities. Its mission includes:

  1. Space Operations: Overseeing space-based systems, such as satellites, that provide essential services to the U.S. military, including communication, reconnaissance, and missile defense.
  2. Space Security: Protecting U.S. space infrastructure from threats, including anti-satellite weapons, cyberattacks, and other potential forms of disruption by adversarial nations.
  3. Space Research and Development: Developing and deploying cutting-edge space technologies, including space-based defense systems, that ensure the U.S. maintains an edge in space exploration and military operations.
  4. Supporting National Defense: Integrating space capabilities into broader national defense strategies, ensuring that U.S. forces can operate effectively in space as part of a multi-domain approach to warfare.

The Space Force is designed to streamline and strengthen the U.S. military’s space operations, which were previously under the purview of the U.S. Air Force. By separating space operations into a distinct branch, the government hoped to increase focus on space as a critical area of national defense and enhance the U.S. military’s ability to respond to emerging threats.
