The New Tools That Can Improve Workforce Training

Companies are pouring money into AI but failing to translate that investment into workforce capability, largely because traditional training methods don’t help employees retain or apply complex skills. Extended reality—virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality—bridges this gap by letting people learn through immersive, emotionally engaging, hands-on experiences that the brain encodes like real events. Organizations from Bank of America to Boeing to Walmart are already seeing faster learning, higher confidence, reduced errors, and lower costs by using XR to train employees in everything from customer-service scenarios to technical assembly. The technology works because it aligns with how people actually learn, benefits from major improvements in affordability and accessibility, and meets the expectations of a workforce already accustomed to immersive digital environments. The companies that start with focused pilot projects, match the right XR tool to the right skill gaps, and scale deliberately will build training systems that actually change behavior and materially improve performance.

I feel like my bread is improving! My third bread- this one is in the fridge now. Planning on baking it sometime tomorrow. I used the scale to do a few tests on this new bag of flour to find the optimal ratio of water to flour to use for the consistency of the dough. I do think I may have used a bit much starter- but apparently that's good for cold an hey now it's snowing here in Brooklyn :)

The restaurant supply has some giant pots- foot for comparison. I really timed it perfectly with biking there today- it was sunny and didn't seem too cold.
