Abstract

The integration of Extended Reality (XR) technologies is having a transformative effect on contemporary learning and professional training environments. The present study investigates the effectiveness of XR simulations in enhancing learning outcomes and upskilling across diverse educational and vocational contexts. The aim of this paper is to ascertain the primary advantages of utilizing XR simulation within industry contexts, with a particular focus on the domains of learning and upskilling. A systematic literature review was conducted as part of the research to identify and theorize over the stated benefits and applications from XR simulations. These findings emphasize the transformative potential of Extended Reality as a catalyst for innovative pedagogy and workforce development. This study posits the argument for augmented investment and research in the domain of XR tools. The conclusion argues that this technology can facilitate training and learning models, thereby establishing a better connection between theoretical concepts and their practical applications in the real world. Hence, XR simulations have the potential to serve as a transformative instrument in the domains of learning and upskilling.
