SEOUL, November 12 (AJP) - Samsung is taking its extended reality (XR) headset beyond gaming and entertainment, introducing immersive corporate training programs that blend artificial intelligence with XR through its “Galaxy XR” device.
Starting this month, Samsung Human Resources Development Center began using the Galaxy XR for employee education programs, covering meditation, company history, leadership, language, and debate sessions. About 20,000 employees—from new recruits to executives—will undergo training using the headset annually.
The Galaxy XR, which Samsung co-developed with Google and Qualcomm and released in October, runs on the Android XR platform. It enables users to interact with 3D environments through voice, gaze, and gestures, allowing them to simulate presentations, hold meetings, or revisit historical milestones such as the founding of Samsung in 1938.
Samsung first hinted at broader ambitions for XR at its October launch event, saying the device could go beyond gaming to include sports experiences, industrial simulations, and medical or educational applications. The company also highlighted its potential in B2B services—such as training workers for hazardous sites or conducting medical education in controlled virtual settings—reflecting the group’s long-term strategy to build an ecosystem around spatial computing.
Through the AI-powered system, participants can receive real-time, personalized feedback from virtual avatars and repeat exercises in realistic environments without the pressure of live evaluation. The XR-based training is designed to increase engagement and overcome the limitations of conventional classroom learning.
Samsung said it will continue working with experts and develop new content optimized for next-generation XR devices. The company aims to integrate feedback from trainees and expand AI-XR education into additional fields in partnership with Samsung Electronics.
