Using XR can lead to operator training being 4 times shorter, as well as project budget saving up to 40% due to better preparedness and awareness.Dr. Felix Gorbatsevich, CEO PaleBlue

The International Labor Organization (ILO) of the United Nations invited Dr. Felix Gorbatsevich, the CEO of PaleBlue, to speak at a Metaverse event.

The International Training Center (ITCILO) of the ILO, based in Turin, Italy, runs training, learning and capacity development services for governments, employers’ organizations, workers’ organizations and other national and international partners in support of Decent Work and sustainable development.

On November 30, 2022, the Training Center ran a full-day event titled Metaverse Training Camp. This event mixed seminars, sessions, and panels on key topics related to companies’ use of key Metaverse technologies: AR/VR/XR, virtual social worlds, NFTs, and the evolution of Web3.

The goal of this learning camp was to clarify the potential of Metaverse technologies for businesses by diving deep on real applications for sales and marketing, human resources training, and operations. It included a special focus on key industries and hands-on testing of XR solutions.

PaleBlue CEO Dr. Felix Gorbatsevich accepted the International Labor Organization (ILO) invitation and participated in a panel discussion titled “Metaverse and Mars: the uses of XR for the Aerospace”, along with Domenico Tedone of Thales Alenia and Alessandra Favalli of Univet.

The panel, led by Manuela Prina of the European Training Foundation, discussed how VR and XR technologies are helping the mission of aerospace companies. The participants of the discussion also addressed the future of the aerospace industry with the application of XR technologies, as well as the technology transfer of XR from aerospace to other markets.

Dr. Gorbatsevich shared how PaleBlue’s VR simulator technology is applied for training astronauts, as well as the framework of the collaboration between PaleBlue and the European Space Agency.

PaleBlue is honored to contribute to events such as this, and share the lessons learned and the best practices developed in its practical application of VR and XR technologies for professional training.
