Closing the VR Training Gap
Virtual reality has come a long way from its early days as bulky arcade systems and experimental gaming gear. Today, it’s becoming a practical tool for law enforcement—especially in firearms and use-of-force training.
As the technology advances, agencies are using virtual reality and simulated projection to close the gap between controlled range work and real-world scenarios. Retired Lt. Frank Borelli highlights how modern systems now blend digital and physical environments:
"(W)e have simulated projection, virtual reality, and VR headsets that have “see-through” technology so the simulated world and the real world can be combined. Training weapons can be actual firearms equipped to have recoil and even simulate reloading drills."
Take a closer look at where this technology is headed and how it’s reshaping training.
