Modern defense training demands adaptive, scalable, and realistic environments that can be rapidly tailored to mission requirements. Traditional XR content development, however, is slow and resource-intensive, often requiring specialized developers and extensive time to build or update training modules. This poster introduces the Vortex XR Weapon Simulator, enhanced with AI-assisted content generation and a robust instructor-in-the-loop workflow. Instructors can directly design immersive scenarios using a visual editor, or alternatively, provide natural language prompts. The AI translates these prompts into structured JSON-level specifications, which automatically populate the Vortex XR Editor for refinement. This approach blends creative instructor control with AI-powered acceleration, drastically reducing scenario creation time from days to minutes. The system integrates seamlessly with an LMS, ensuring training content is deployed to student accounts with real-time performance tracking. Metrics such as accuracy, reaction time, and engagement are captured and looped back into the system, enabling adaptive learning paths and continuous content improvement. By merging instructor expertise, AI-driven generation, and LMS integration, this solution delivers a scalable, adaptive, and secure training ecosystem. The result is an innovative model for immersive defense training—efficient, future-proof, and learner-focused.
