Boys Town, a U.S. nonprofit dedicated to helping at-risk youth and families, faced challenges scaling its behavioral coaching due to limited availability of live facilitators for immersive roleplay training.They partnered with Elastiq and Google Public Sector to develop Reality Coach, an AI-driven interactive roleplay platform on Google Cloud using Vertex AI and other services that simulates realistic scenarios for educators to practice behavioral techniques anytime.The platform provides personalized, grade-level relevant coaching by simulating dynamic conversations with AI personas, allowing educators to repeat practice until mastery without logistical constraints.Results showed 72% of educators increased confidence in behavioral management, 86% reported improved classroom outcomes, and training scaled to over 32,500 professionals with projected benefits for 100,000+ students annually.
Jagiellonian University Medical College (JUMC) in Kraków, Poland revolutionized its medical education by integrating Microsoft HoloLens 2 and Microsoft Azure-powered mixed reality technology. The initiative aimed to address the limitations of relying on 2D medical imaging by creating a solution that displays hyper-realistic, patient-specific 3D holographic models for teaching and surgical planning. In collaboration with apoQlar, a Microsoft Partner, JUMC equipped its laboratories with AR headsets, enhancing both learning and hospital surgical procedures. The technology is portable, Wi-Fi enabled, and features text-to-speech for hands-free notes and calls. Students and faculty have enthusiastically adopted the system, with surveys indicating a preference for mixed reality tools over traditional methods. The program has launched with over 20 medical simulations ready for teaching and early pilot surgeries already performed, demonstrating improvements in both the speed and effectiveness of medical training and procedure planning.

The system integrates with Power BI to track improvement and ensures standardized training outcomes.
Stevanato Group, a global leader in pharmaceutical manufacturing, faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic in conducting Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) for vaccine inspection equipment. Traditionally performed in person, these tests transitioned to remote implementation using Microsoft HoloLens 2 and Teams. This mixed reality technology allowed engineers to host virtual walkthroughs, demonstrate machine functionalities, and collaborate with customers worldwide. As a result, the company ensured business continuity and faster delivery schedules amidst the pandemic restrictions, all while meeting stringent quality requirements and engaging clients early on in production processes.
Pearson and Microsoft collaborated to introduce a mixed-reality curriculum leveraging Microsoft HoloLens technology. This initiative integrates six unique applications aimed at revolutionizing learning experiences in healthcare and STEM education. HoloPatient, a key app in this curriculum, immerses nursing students in realistic medical scenarios using holographic actors to enhance diagnostic and treatment skills. Complementary apps like HoloHuman, HoloHistory, and HoloMath target primary and higher education, enabling interactive and visual learning in history, chemistry, and mathematics. As part of its innovative approach, the curriculum has been piloted at multiple educational institutions across the world, illustrating the potential of holography in enhancing comprehension and retention.
