Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company who develops Prepar3D, a visual simulation platform that allows users to create training scenarios across aviation, maritime, and ground domains. Varjo is proud to announce that they are working with Lockheed Martin and the Prepar3D team to enable the most demanding training and simulation scenarios that require the highest-fidelity immersive displays.
The newly-released Prepar3D v5, out this week, brings essential new capabilities and features to solve today’s emerging virtual and mixed reality training needs. What’s most exciting about it? The new Prepar3D brings support for Varjo’s mixed reality headset, XR-1 Developer Edition. This opens up an incredible range of new training applications where the real and synthetically generated worlds blend seamlessly to create compelling training solutions. Prepar3D is also compatible with the VR-2 and VR-2 Pro.
“With the advent of the virtual reality technologies, we are always trying to find ways to integrate with the latest and greatest tech into our software. Virtual reality and mixed reality are going to be critical for our next generation of trainers,” said Kyle Myers from Prepar3D.
“If the visual acuity of the virtual environment is not good enough, that impacts the training and ultimately is a negative experience. When we use headsets such as Varjo, where the resolution of the headset is much sharper and much closer to human-eye resolution, the experience is much more natural. Using technologies such as Varjo allows us to create a training experience with a wide field of view, without having the overhead of a large dome or multiple LCD screens.”
