The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Extended Reality (XR)—which includes Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR)—is disrupting how we learn, train, and work. Globally, industries are leveraging immersive technologies to enhance performance, engagement, and innovation.
What was once imagined in science fiction is now the future of classrooms, workplaces, and innovation labs.
Yeni AI
At Yeni, we are pioneering this transformation in the education sector—offering India’s first immersive AI-XR learning ecosystem that prepares students for the realities of tomorrow’s workplace.
Understanding XR: More Than Just a Buzzword
XR represents the spectrum of immersive technologies that blur the line between the real and digital world. It enables users to:
• Augment reality with digital overlays (AR)
• Enter fully virtual environments (VR)
• Blend real and virtual objects that coexist (MR)
When paired with AI, XR becomes intelligent—adapting in real time to learner performance, user emotions, and behavioral data. This dynamic duo is driving transformation in key sectors. Let’s look at some game-changing corporate use cases.
Use Cases: How the World’s Top Companies Are Using XR
1. Boeing – Assembling Aircraft with AR
Boeing uses AR headsets to guide technicians through the complex wiring of aircraft.
• Results:
o 25% increase in productivity
o 40% reduction in errors
• Technicians receive real-time 3D instructions projected onto the aircraft during assembly, reducing the need for manuals.
2. Walmart – Training Over 1 Million Employees in VR
Walmart adopted VR to train employees across customer service, inventory management, and crisis response (e.g., Black Friday surges).
• Results:
o 70% improvement in retention
o 30% faster training time
• The VR modules simulate real store scenarios, helping employees build confidence before facing actual customers.

3. Johnson & Johnson – Surgical Simulations in XR
J&J developed an immersive VR program to train surgeons on orthopedic and laparoscopic procedures.
• Benefits:
o Risk-free practice environment
o Scalable to thousands of surgeons across hospitals
• Surgeons who trained in VR demonstrated higher accuracy and confidence in real-life surgeries.
4. Accenture – Metaverse Onboarding & Collaboration
Accenture onboarded 150,000+ new hires in a custom metaverse called “The Nth Floor”.
• Features:
o Interactive onboarding
o Virtual collaboration spaces
o Avatar-based team building
• It’s a fully immersive experience that replicates an actual office, encouraging hybrid work engagement.
5. Ford – Virtual Vehicle Prototyping
Ford uses XR to simulate car models before they are physically built.
• Outcome:
o Design errors reduced early
o Millions saved in prototyping costs
• Engineers wear MR headsets to view and tweak 3D models, helping to accelerate product innovation cycles.
What Does This Mean for Education?
These enterprise applications reveal one clear truth: Immersive learning is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
At Yeni, we’re bringing this power to classrooms with:
• AI-Personalized XR Learning Paths for engineering students
• Immersive Learning Pods in K6–K12 schools
• AI Avatar Trainers for communication, technical skills, and interview readiness
• XR Career Labs that simulate professions like Data Scientist, Architect, or Mechanical Engineer
• Real-world project simulators used for capstone projects, startup building, and patent filing
Global Market Trends
• The XR market is projected to reach $472 billion by 2030 (Statista).
• 95% of Fortune 500 companies will invest in XR training in the next 5 years (PwC).
• Education and training are among the top three industries expected to benefit most from XR.
The Road Ahead: From Simulation to Transformation
At Yeni, we see XR not as a trend, but as a transformation platform that:
• Makes abstract concepts tangible
• Turns passive lectures into active exploration
• Gives students skills aligned with real industry tools
• Provides inclusive access to cutting-edge innovation
Final Word
Immersive technologies are reshaping how the world learns, builds, and grows. As global enterprises continue to adopt XR for training, simulation, and design, educational institutions must keep pace.
Yeni is proud to lead this charge—bringing the same enterprise-grade immersive learning used by Fortune 500 companies to classrooms, labs, and campuses across India
