AVRT: Innovative VR Training for Real-World Combat

Natural Actions and Movements:
The AVRT platform leverages advanced, off-the-shelf consumer technology to deliver a highly effective and cost-efficient VR training experience. By utilizing wireless hardware, the system supports natural, free-roaming movements within a designated training area. This setup allows soldiers to train in their issued body armor and personal equipment, minimizing the risk of training gaps and ensuring minimal adaptation time for trainees. Consequently, soldiers can concentrate on their training objectives without adjusting to new technologies.

Train Anywhere, Anytime:
The AVRT system offers a versatile and scalable training environment that can be configured to fit any reasonably-sized open space. Whether the training area is large or small, the system maintains its tracking effectiveness, accommodating both individual and team training scenarios. Its portability allows for training at various locations, offering flexibility for different training needs and making any location a potential training venue.

Simulated Real-Feel Weapons and Hardware:
The AVRT platform includes state-of-the-art technology for realistic weapon simulations and tactical equipment. Soldiers can train with virtual versions of rifles, carbines, pistols, and less-lethal devices, all of which provide haptic feedback and can be integrated into existing tactical gear. This realistic simulation enables soldiers to train as they fight, without the risks associated with live ammunition. The system supports high-risk scenario simulations, including the use of elevation for enhanced training experiences.

Adaptive and Controllable Dynamic Scenarios:
The AVRT instructor console offers the ability to create and modify interactive training scenarios based on trainee performance. Instructors can adjust environments, enemy behaviors, and scenarios in real time, allowing for tailored and diverse training experiences. The system also supports both dynamic and repeatable scenarios for assessment purposes, making it a step above passive 3D video-based training methods.

Exceptional After-Action Reviews:
AVRT provides detailed 3D and first-person replays of training sessions, enabling comprehensive after-action reviews. These reviews offer insights from the soldier’s perspective and can be analyzed from various angles. Metrics such as shot placement, distances, reaction times, and biometric data are available for in-depth analysis.

Advanced Integration Platform:
The AVRT system can integrate with advanced technologies like Teslasuit and SenseGlove to enhance the training experience. It also supports motion systems from Delta Kinetic for large-scale simulations, including land vehicle and maritime scenarios. The AVRT team continually explores new applications for their technology, aiming to expand its use across different training contexts.
