## Summary

Gilad Tzori, COO of Frontline.io, explains how immersive training using VR, AR, and digital twins addresses the rising complexity of manufacturing equipment and the loss of tribal knowledge. He details how HP utilizes Frontline.io (branded as HPXR Services) with HoloLens devices to reduce training time and costs, while noting that smaller manufacturers can start with mobile devices or Meta Quest headsets. Tzori also predicts that AI integration and lightweight AR glasses will soon enable personalized, real-time machine assistance and remote expert support on the shop floor.
