This year, one of our Xennial team members attended I/ITSEC 2025 in Orlando—the world’s largest gathering dedicated to modeling, simulation, and training. While Xennial did not exhibit at the event, attending in person allowed us to observe emerging trends, evaluate new technologies, and connect directly with the community shaping the future of defense and technical training.
What stood out this year was clear:
Immersive training is no longer experimental. It has become a core operational priority across military, aviation, and technical sectors.
Agencies and institutions are shifting from pilot programs to fully integrated, operational immersive training pipelines.
There is increasing demand for:
Zero-friction deployment
Low hardware footprint
Training flexibility across distributed teams
Repeatable, standardized skill development
The fidelity of immersive environments at I/ITSEC continues to rise—mirroring real-world equipment and procedures with unprecedented accuracy. This aligns with Xennial’s approach to detailed technical modeling.
Training platforms showcased at I/ITSEC emphasized:
Competency tracking
Benchmarking
Individual and cohort analytics
Organizations want data-backed readiness, not just immersive experiences.
Collaborative VR scenarios were one of the strongest trends of the year, enabling:
Team-based training
Role-specific interactions
Remote scenario rehearsal
This mirrors real operational needs—from emergency response to aviation maintenance.
Even though Xennial did not exhibit this year, our presence through team attendance reinforced the alignment between industry demand and our current product roadmap.
The market is clearly prioritizing:
Faster upskilling
Reduced equipment strain
Higher certification success rates
Immersive tools that complement hands-on training
Affordable, scalable deployments for institutions
These are exactly the problems our VR training solutions address across aviation, healthcare, and advanced technical fields.
Being on the show floor allowed our team to:
Validate emerging industry needs
Benchmark our technology against other training solutions
Identify collaboration opportunities
Understand procurement and adoption trends
Gather insights directly from defense and training stakeholders
This ensures Xennial continues to innovate with real-world alignment, not assumptions.
Based on what we observed at I/ITSEC 2025, immersive training will continue to accelerate in:
Military maintenance & readiness pipelines
Aviation technician training (Part 147)
Medical simulation and procedural training
Large-scale institutional adoption of XR platforms
Xennial is well-positioned to support this momentum with high-fidelity, cost-effective VR solutions designed for scalable deployment.
We’d love to share what we’re building—and how schools, agencies, and organizations are implementing VR today.
