IRVINE, CA—January 22, 2025 — EON Reality, the world leader in AI-assisted Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, today announces an enhanced integration with NVIDIA’s PDF-to-Podcast AI Blueprint, enabling organizations to overcome information overload through generative AI-powered audio read-outs.  In a new white paper, “From Page to Practice: Unlocking Soft Skills with AI-Generated Podcasts and 3D Avatar Role-Plays,”  this collaboration leverages conventional PDFs—such as training manuals, technical reports, and documentation—and swiftly converts them into personalized, high-quality audio experiences that learners can access anytime, anywhere.. In tandem with EON Reality’s multi-avatar platform, this groundbreaking approach merges audio content with 3D role-play scenarios to create a fully immersive soft skills training experience. 

“Unlocking on-the-go learning is a game-changer for distributed teams and busy professionals,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality. “By combining our multi-avatar role-plays with NVIDIA’s AI Blueprint, we empower organizations to convert dense PDFs into natural, conversational podcasts—and then immediately apply that knowledge in immersive, risk-free simulations.This integration eliminates the gap between reading content and practicing it, ushering in an era where every PDF can become a living, interactive course.”

Unlock the Power of Generative AI-Powered Audio

NVIDIA’s PDF-to-Podcast AI Blueprint is a flexible, customizable solution for transforming static PDF content into dynamic monologues or dialogue-style podcasts. It leverages large language models (LLMs), text-to-speech (TTS) services, and NVIDIA NIM microservices to ensure scalability, high-quality audio, and compliance with data privacy requirements.

Key Features of NVIDIA’s PDF-to-Podcast AI Blueprint

• PDF to Markdown Service
  Converts PDFs into markdown for structured processing, preserving text, images, and tables.
• Monologue or Dialogue Creation Service
  Uses AI to enrich the markdown text, creating conversational or lecture-style audio segments.
• Text-to-Speech (TTS) Service
  Transforms processed markdown into natural-sounding speech, suitable for on-the-go consumption.

Flexible Customization

Organizations can tailor the solution with branded introductions, translation, usage analytics, or even a digital human interface for deeper engagement. Model inference is handled on NVIDIA’s cloud-based infrastructure, eliminating the need for local GPU hardware.

From Audio to Immersive 3D Role-Play
Once the PDF content is converted into high-quality audio, EON Reality’s multi-avatar platform allows learners to practice soft skills in realistic 3D simulations:

• Listen & Learn: Employees consume the audio content—be it a policy briefing or technical overview—whenever and wherever they prefer.
• 3D Scenario Deployment: Immediately afterward, learners enter immersive role-plays where AI-driven avatars reenact or expand upon the core themes from the audio.
• Real-Time Feedback & Analytics: EON Reality’s spatial AI tracks communication styles, decision-making, and empathy levels, offering data-rich insights and coaching.

Key Benefits

1. On-the-Go Learning: Transform dense training material into engaging audio, enabling staff to learn without interruption to their daily schedules.
2. Higher Engagement & Retention: Podcasts keep learners attentive, while virtual role-plays let them apply knowledge in a hands-on, risk-free environment.
3. Scalable & Compliant: Cloud-based microservices ensure the system scales effortlessly, while NVIDIA’s blueprint maintains strict privacy controls and licensing compliance.
4. Customizable & Future-Proof: Integrate branding, analytics, translations, and digital humans—ensuring alignment with organizational goals and evolving market needs.
5. Rich Assessment & Analytics: Both audio consumption and immersive practice produce robust data on engagement, skill gaps, and ROI—fueling continuous improvement.

Concrete Use Cases

1.Corporate Compliance & Policy Training

• Generative AI Audio: Turn lengthy compliance PDFs into short podcasts that employees can listen to while commuting.
• Avatar Role-Play: Simulate ethical dilemmas in a virtual office, tracking employee responses and providing real-time coaching.

2.Technical & R&D Briefings

• Audio Summaries: Convert in-depth technical papers into monologues or panel-style discussions.
• 3D Collaboration: Researchers and engineers practice presenting findings to AI avatars acting as colleagues, sponsors, or clients.

3.Customer Service & Hospitality

• Dialogue Podcasts: Hosts and virtual “customers” discuss best practices for guest satisfaction and conflict resolution.
• 3D Simulations: Learners immediately handle guest interactions, receiving AI-driven feedback on empathy, communication style, and speed of resolution.

4.Healthcare & Emergency Preparedness

• Audio Overviews: Medical protocols and emergency response guidelines are converted into easy-to-digest formats.
• Immersive Drills: Avatars replicate crisis situations, enabling responders to practice life-saving procedures and triage communication in a realistic yet safe environment.
