In a recent meeting in New Delhi, EON Reality Chairman Dan Lejerskar engaged with representatives from the National Institute of Social Defence (NISD) to explore how immersive technologies might support India’s evolving social welfare priorities.
The discussion centered on how EON Reality’s Extended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions could be adapted to address key social challenges. These technologies may offer new tools to enhance learning, expand access, and promote dignity and empowerment for underserved populations across India.
Potential Applications Across Key Social Sectors
EON Reality’s platform is designed to deliver scalable, culturally adaptable training and support modules. During the conversation, several areas of potential relevance to NISD’s mission were highlighted:
Senior Citizen Support
Immersive experiences could be used to support digital literacy, cognitive stimulation, and social connection for elderly citizens through accessible XR environments.
Transgender Empowerment
XR-based entrepreneurship guidance and professional skills training may contribute to improved economic opportunities, workplace inclusion, and safe virtual spaces for community interaction.
De-addiction and Recovery Support
Therapeutic tools such as decision-making simulators and virtual group sessions could provide anonymous, structured support environments that align with real-world recovery challenges.
Beggar Rehabilitation
Hands-on vocational training and foundational education delivered through immersive simulations and AI mentorship may offer a viable pathway to skill development and reintegration.
Benefits of XR and AI for Social Development
Although still in exploratory stages, immersive learning technology presents a number of potential benefits:
- Accelerated learning compared to conventional methods
- Personalized, language-adaptable content delivery
- 24/7 access to AI-powered guidance and support
- Scalable frameworks aligned with national development goals
A Shared Vision for Inclusive Digital Transformation
The meeting reflected a shared interest in exploring how emerging technologies can strengthen social inclusion, reduce structural barriers, and improve access to knowledge and opportunity for marginalized communities.
EON Reality remains committed to engaging with public sector institutions to understand their needs and offer platforms that can be customized to local, cultural, and policy contexts.
As conversations continue, we look forward to identifying ways in which immersive learning can support India’s mission for inclusive, impactful social development.
