Irvine, California, December 6, 2024: SimInsights Inc was invited to participate in the second workshop on the development and use of the digital twin cislunar and lunar surface ecosystems organized by NASA/JPL, Aerospace Corporation and John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland.
Over 120 attendees from 35 organizations participated in the workshop. The agenda included presentations from NASA administrators and researchers from many organizations. SimInsights founder Raj gave a TED-style lightning talk on Generative AI, XR, Digital Twins and Learning Engineering to Help Build the Next-gen Workforce for Careers in CisLunar and Space. The talk included successful examples of how HyperSkill platform has been applied to deliver results in workforce training and education across various industries.
SimInsights’ HyperSkill platform accelerates the creation and deployment of digital twins for workforce training and other applications. As the US prepares to establish a permanent base on moon, there is a critical need to train astronaut geologists to work on the moon. XR and AI technologies hold great promise for this purpose and HyperSkill delivers speed and cost that are unmatched in the industry.
The agenda for the workshop is included below:
