The NEW way to Air Force Pilots & Aircraft Maintainers Learn
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2023
- Mike Benitez hosts Scott Schneider, CEO of HTX Labs, to discuss the future of learning. Hear about how a small startup pivoted into working with the Air Force and how they’ve used immersive learning in XR to change the way the Air Force trains aircraft maintainers and pilots.

Very interesting 👍👍
nice one paco
There are applications for this everywhere in industry. Medical tech is an especially "target rich" area for proficiency training on critical devices. Imagine replacing scenario based thought exercises (ie: test questions) with a much detail dense, virtual scenario where virtual actions, whether proper, correct, omitted, or out of sequence, produce feedback in real time. Scenarios involving anesthesia machines, scanners (MRI, CT, US, etc.) could REALly train in that virtual environment while developing "muscle memory", safe habits and fault awareness, long before ever touching a live patient.
Yes but NOTHING replaces physical hands on experience for hands on tasks.
I get this guy wants to promote his companies products but there's an awful lot of sales BS in this.
FYI - I have a degree in aerospace a pilots license and 30+ years working as an industrial control systems engineer in automation and robotics across a number of industries AND YOU CANT REPLACE HANDS ON LEARNING.
Bu t I will say the 3-D representations of where things are and aren't in an any complex system is a huge bonus. BUT WE'VE HAD 3-D CAD and cutaway drawings for decades. There's nothing new about that except for the ease of use.
But that nonsense comment about people not reading PDFs is simply utter nonsense.
That's like the claims of the *paperless office* that all the tech companies raved about back in the 80s and 90s. They used to promote that as a way to help save trees. THE REALITY was due to laser printers and photocopiers the actual use of paper in offices *WENT UP NOT DOWN.*
As for this individualised approach to teaching. That was (to my knowledge) first pushed by a company called Addison Wesley back in the late mid 1970s. I was fed that crap in math high school math classes in around 1976. It was crap then and its still crap today. I could do math and like a few others cruised through an entire semester of math in about a week. MEANWHILE a bunch of kids were left behind. Both my parents were high school teachers and they saw this nonsense being peddled again and again and the results were always the same. The bright kids did well the average kids stayed average and the less studious kids GOT LEFT BEHIND.
Sorry to Paco, but this is maybe 10% good helpful stuff and the rest is 90% glossed up crap of a type of crap that's failed as bad as the MCAS system did on the Boeing Max-8.
Truly, American educational culture must change!
Imagine trust the public school system.
“I’ll edit that out”…slaps his picture in post 😆
HTX would seem to be a good fit for the Ukraine. They need to train a lot of maintainers.
Can you edit your title? It makes no sense.
HEY Paco,
Sorry to be a ball breaker on this but its mostly a sales pitch and most of that is nonsense.

Tony, if you truly believe this technology is attempting to replace hands on learning, you clearly don't understand the technology at all. This will NEVER replace hands on learning. This technology is an addition to hands on learning. It allows students to get more reps in safely wherever they are by utilizing a headset. I would do more research on the technology and how it's being used across all industries before assuming everything is a "sales pitch". Change is coming to the way people learn whether you want it or not.
