Training that becomes skill.

Immersive coaching delivered hands-free on AI display glasses — an AI that sees the real task, guides the worker through it, and confirms the skill on the job.

THE PROBLEM

People watch. They don't do. So it never becomes skill.

Slides, videos, modules — most training is still watched, not performed. It drains money through lost productivity, errors, rework, and turnover.

In safety-critical work — manufacturing, food and beverage, warehousing and logistics — an untrained worker isn't just a cost. It's a hazard.

$13.5M

lost every year to ineffective or absent training — in lost productivity, errors, rework, and turnover.

THE SKILLS GAP
70%
of workers have not mastered the skills they need for their job today. (Gartner, 2019)
WHAT STICKS
34%
of employees are still applying what they learned one year after training. (Saks & Belcourt, 2006)
OBSOLESCENCE
39%
of workers' core skills will change by 2030 as roles transform. (WEF, Future of Jobs 2025)
02
THE SHIFT

Training is leaving the screen — and the simulator.

01

The Screen

Slides, videos, LMS modules. You watch and click through. Passive — and forgotten fast.

→ LOW RETENTION
02

The Headset

VR simulation. You finally do the task — but inside a simulated room, away from the real job.

→ REAL DOING, SIMULATED WORLD
03

The Glasses

AI display glasses. You do the real task, on the real job, hands-free — coached in the flow of work.

→ REAL DOING, REAL WORLD

Each step closes the gap between learning and doing. Glasses close it completely.

03
HOW IT WORKS

An AI coach that sees the work — and verifies the skill.

01
Sees
The glasses' camera streams the worker's point of view. The AI watches the real task as it happens.
02
Guides
Open-ear audio and on-lens overlay deliver real-time, adaptive, generative coaching — step by step.
03
Confirms
Skill verified on the actual job, hands-free via the Neural Band — not in a simulator.

USE CASES

Three ways guidance shows up on the job.

Post-Training Field Reinforcement

After VR or classroom training, workers get on-the-job prompts and step guidance that lock in what they learned — right when they first perform the task for real.

Remote Expert Assist

A senior expert sees what the worker sees and guides them through complex or rare procedures from anywhere — cutting travel and downtime.

"Rotate the coupler a quarter turn — there."

Real-Time Hazard Identification

AI watches the environment through the glasses and flags risks — missing PPE, live equipment, unsafe positioning — before incidents happen.

WORKING PROTOTYPE

Not a concept. Running on the glasses today.

Built on the Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit within weeks of display access opening — a live AI coach on-lens, paired with a full iOS companion app. One guided procedure is live on-device right now.

Meta Ray-Ban Display + Neural Band — running the live AI coach today.

06
WHY NOW

The platform just opened. The first-mover window is open right now.

On May 14, 2026, Meta shipped display support in the Wearables Device Access Toolkit — the first time developers can build guided, camera-aware experiences for Ray-Ban Display glasses. (Meta for Developers, v0.7 release)

THE UNLOCK
MAY 14, 2026
Meta ships display support in the Wearables Device Access Toolkit — camera in, on-lens display and open-ear audio out, hands-free via the Neural Band.
THE MARKET
$69.6B
Global immersive training market: $16.4B in 2024 → $69.6B by 2030 (28.3% CAGR). (Grand View Research)
THE WINDOW
OPEN
Publishing is still limited to select partners. Almost no enterprise-training company is here — and we're already building on it.

Device-agnostic by design — the coaching engine (camera in, guidance out) runs wherever the category goes: Meta today; Xreal and Android XR next. We start in environments that don't require intrinsically safe hardware, so deployment never waits on hazardous-location certification. Meta is the wedge, not the dependency.

07
PROOF

The model already works.

Documented across 100+ VR Vision deployments in energy, utilities, manufacturing, and automotive. The glasses don't change whether immersive training works — they change how far it can reach.

ONBOARDING
65%
faster onboarding for new frontline workers.
ERRORS
30%
reduction in on-the-job errors.
RETENTION
3–5×
knowledge retention vs. traditional training.

INDEPENDENT VALIDATION

PwC found VR-trained employees learn 4× faster than classroom and are 275% more confident applying skills. (PwC, 2020)
