🚀 The metaverse, with its promise of fully engaged entertainment, gaming, and communication, has captured the world’s imagination. But we want people to dream even bigger. At JFF, we envision a world where learners and workers gain huge benefits from extended reality (XR) technology. Over the past several years, we’ve been on the ground in communities across the U.S., deploying and testing XR technologies. We’ve seen firsthand how XR—including VR, augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR)—can enhance education and training, whether in a community college classroom or on a job site. Our latest report shares action items for communities, small businesses, support organizations, XR solution providers, and policymakers. 👉 Read the report to learn how we can harness the power of XR technology for a brighter future. https://hubs.la/Q02DZWcM0 | #ExtendedReality #VirtualReality #AugmentedReality #MixedReality #FutureofWork
