Immersive learning, which includes Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR), empowers employees to learn by doing as they apply new skills to complex scenarios, experience situations from the perspective of others, make real-time decisions, and respond to the outcomes of their words and actions—all within a safe, controlled virtual environment.
Immersive technologies also offer an opportunity to boost the impact of live experiential learning (LEL) with hands-on skills practice, personalized and adaptive learning paths, and authentic, on-the-job scenarios that unfold in real time. Immersive LELs help L&D leaders extend the benefits of high-quality, high-value learning and skilling to a remote audience and leverage a range of rich data points to measure the impact of each experience.
eLearning Industry founder Christopher Pappas describes immersive learning as "a must-have for corporate learning" with "foundations in behavioral and cognitive science."
Pappas explains:
The best content providers use immersive learning with VR to provide memorable experiences and accelerate employee proficiency. All is done through an immersive training environment where your workforce can test real-life scenarios—no wonder this emerging type of training is so impactful.
He attributes SweetRush's sustained No. 1 ranking to its "cutting-edge immersive solutions" and "highly engaging experiences that lead to deep knowledge retention and skill mastery."

Esteban Cascante, SweetRush Director of Production, Project Management, and XR, cites his team's learning-first approach, ongoing exploration of emerging technologies, and "deep commitment to delivering business value by upskilling a global audience of learners" as integral to its success.
Cascante adds:
With the incorporation of AI into our immersive simulations, we are able to create more realistic and complex experiences every time, allowing the learners to apply their critical thinking and getting real-time custom feedback that allows them to improve their skills for real-life situations. Thanks to the rich data generated by immersive learning experiences, L&D leaders and their business partners can monitor their people's preparedness to weather and adapt to change.
