Vrginers, a provider of VR / MR pilot training system, recently announced that it has developed the next generation of VR / MR pilot training system. The solution includes the latest version of vrginers XTAL 3 VR / MR head display and Lockheed Martin’s prepar3d visual simulation platform.
It is understood that vrginers XTAL equipment is equipped with 180 ° FOV composed of two 4K resolution displays. According to the company, its new training system marks the first integration of physical cockpit simulator with ultra wide FOV VR head display to provide immersive 1:1 simulation.
Vrginers said that Lockheed Martin’s prepar3d version 5 now supports its XTAL 3 hybrid reality technology out of the box. The combination of the technologies of the two companies can provide realistic tactile feedback, thanks to the function of the technology that allows users to see their hands and interact with the physical dashboard, which is also provided by vrginers. So trainees can find themselves in a completely immersive environment to train muscle memory.
It is reported that the training platform is specially designed for F-15, F-16 and F-35 fighters and is now being launched for other modern aircraft. Vrginers added that XTAL 3’s advanced hybrid reality capabilities enable the device to be used by pison technology as the core head display and hybrid reality solution of two different SBIR phase II R & D contracts, which jointly seek to develop advanced manned flight simulation technology simulators, funded by afwerx, for the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy.
US Navy pilot Bryant Church said: “using XTAL in full dynamic hydraulic simulation and flying in low altitude bombing feels like I’m back in the cockpit, my heart rate is accelerated and my spirit is 100% focused on avoiding threats and target acquisition.”
Vrginers said that due to joint efforts, existing prepar3d users will experience a seamless transition when switching from data projectors or display based simulators to XTAL based systems.
Marek pol čá K, CEO of vrginers, said: “this setting, with a fully operable cockpit and XTAL hybrid reality solution, combined with prepar3d, is cheaper and covers a smaller area than the standard dome installation. Due to these improvements, the time spent on the simulator is expected to increase rapidly, saving flight and maintenance costs and raising the combat readiness of pilots to an unprecedented level.”
VR technology has begun to be applied in the military field. At present, these applications are mainly aimed at military training. Military training in VR plays a vital role in training soldiers to make appropriate and rapid response in military actual combat and other dangerous emergency situations.
The simulation scene of VR technology can achieve this effect in military training, and let soldiers avoid the threat of death or serious injury as much as possible. This training method has been proved to be cheaper than the traditional training method, but the efficiency and effect of training will be much higher.
