Abstract:

This scholarly paper delves into the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in augmenting Extended Reality (XR) simulations, tailored explicitly for military educators across the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. By integrating AI technologies, these educators can substantially alleviate the burdens of non-instructional tasks such as lesson planning and grading, reallocating valuable time towards personalized instruction and fostering essential interpersonal relationships. AI's integration within XR environments facilitates the creation of immersive and interactive learning experiences, which are indispensable for contemporary military training.

This paper presents empirical findings from a rigorously conducted randomized control trial, underscoring AI's efficacy in enhancing visualizations, movements, and interactions within virtual reality simulations. The significance of this research lies in its potential to revolutionize military education by demonstrating AI's capacity to craft realistic training scenarios, thereby elevating engagement and optimizing learning outcomes. Furthermore, the paper explores how AI-enhanced XR simulations can improve assessment methodologies and communication strategies within military education. By leveraging AI's analytical capabilities, educators can gain deeper insights into student performance and adapt instructional strategies accordingly. This approach enhances the precision of assessments and fosters a more dynamic and responsive educational environment.

By embracing AI-driven XR tools, military educators can better equip personnel for complex, real-world challenges, ultimately contributing to enhanced training effectiveness and mission readiness. Participants in the paper submission presentation will receive free evidence-based practice simulations to use tomorrow with their students and techniques and AI integration to improve students' and staff's critical thinking and communication skills. This presentation will provide practical strategies and tools to implement AI-powered XR simulations in your classrooms, empowering you to create engaging and effective learning experiences for your students. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how AI can revolutionize your teaching practices and prepare your students for the future of military operations.
