fats AR (Augmented Reality) Weapons Training

Unlike virtual reality (VR) systems that provide a fully synthetic environment, fats® AR blends real physical environments, obstacles and live team members with Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) virtual characters, avatars, and assets for an unparalleled training experience. Trainee/operators see their own hands, feet, weapons, teammates and surroundings as well as CGI elements enabled by fats augmented reality (AR)/mixed reality (MR) headset and system.

fats AR changes the economics and logistics of readiness training and mission rehearsal. With fats AR environment scanning and replication capability, training sessions can be held in almost any indoor location. This enables instructors and trainee/operators to be geographically separated in remote locations yet interact as if they were together for coordinated actions. This feature significantly reduces the cost of transporting and housing large groups and equipment for an on-site rehearsal and enables training at the point of need.

With conditions reset capability, one group of trainee/operators can evaluate performance in AAR while the next group trains soon after. This dramatically reduces idle time for each group and increases throughput over traditional training methods.

Features

• Support up to four trainee/operators simultaneously in the actual or 3D augmented live/virtual environment, posing realistic stress in a safe training setting.
• All trainee/operators see the real world, including their own physical features, weapons and magazines, including their actual co-located training partners.
• Interactive avatars provide unexpected and adjustable scenarios each time by moving them in the scanned environment.
• Realistic and customizable avatars can be easily changed, based on age, sex, race, body type and clothing style.
