A screenshot from an example of eXtended Reality training, highlighted in CPD course HG087. It shows a trainee astronaut holding up their hands in front of their face in wonder as if using an XR headset for the first time. Their avatar is inside a lunar module with stacks of boxed equipment and technology around them.
