Whether you're delivering immersive XR training experiences or managing complex learning requirements through an LMS, the ability to design, implement, and operationalize xAPI is no longer a “nice to have” – it’s a competitive advantage.

A lot of people have been asking us lately about the potential value of xAPI in XR training. It’s a question worth asking as more industries are making an investment in mixed and extended reality — especially for training in high-risk or “difficult to practice” domains. For training and innovation leaders in these spaces, it comes down to: “Does xAPI really matter for XR — and if so, why?”

We recently wrapped up a project that offered teams building a dozen different Unity-based extended reality (XR) applications the ability to have engagement data from each application populate a mission-control style engagement dashboard in real time. So rather than one team / one dashboard, the goal here was all teams / one dashboard.
