In this edition of the Simulation & Training Speaker Series, we explore exciting applications of extended reality technology in defense, government, and cybersecurity. Learn how augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR) help teams and individuals complete tasks faster, reduce errors, improve knowledge retention, and save lives.

This event will highlight the diverse areas where AR, MR and VR are making a significant impact, including:

• Construction
• Maintenance and on-the-job training
• Cybersecurity risks and operations
• First responder training

Sessions

Welcome: The state of Unity technology (John Cunningham, Head of Government Solutions, Unity)

Hear about Unity’s latest technological developments for applications in the government sector and what to look forward to in the coming year.

Creating intelligent AR/VR applications for government (Erika Peace, Senior Product Manager, Government, Unity; Emaleigh Shriver, Lead, Customer Success Specialist, Unity)

Unity is the preferred platform for creating AR/VR experiences, whether for games or industrial uses.
