Case Air Zermatt
Air Zermatt, in partnership with Loft Dynamics and Varjo, is transforming helicopter pilot training using an EASA- and FAA-qualified VR simulator, enabling trainees to fly the simulator like a real helicopter and have the virtual training time officially credited to their flight training.
Unmatched features for synthetic training.
Meet the Varjo XR-4 Series
- Dual 4K x 4K displays with a resolution of 51 pixels per degree (ppd)
- 50% wider field of view (120° x 105°) compared to previous-generation devices, with double the display brightness (200 nits) and wider color gamut with 96% DCI-P3
- Dual 20 Mpx cameras for powering the industry’s highest-fidelity, real-time photorealistic video pass-through mixed reality
- New ambient light sensors and 8 x improved LiDAR resolution compared to Varjo XR-3 that seamlessly blends real and virtual elements
- Built-in DTS 3D spatial audio with noise-canceling mics and integrated speakers for collaborative use cases
- Inside-out tracking and in-box Varjo Controllers, powered by Razer, providing precise interactions with high tactile immersion, and reducing setup complexity and cost
Stay comfortably immersed for longer.
Varjo XR-4 Series video pass-through and high-resolution LiDAR sensors enable accurate room, object, body and hand occlusion with real-world objects in real time. Users can fully interact with a physical panel, HOTAS or crew member to replicate real training scenarios with incredible true-to-life accuracy, eliminating negative training.
Varjo headsets are ergonomically designed to be lightweight with a zero-gravity head band for maximum comfort – perfectly fitting any head shape and size. Combined automatic interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment, and active cooling, they enable a comfortable experience even for extended XR/VR sessions without any simulator sickness.
Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition
Optimized for simulation.
Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition delivers an enhanced mixed reality passthrough experience, which makes it the ultimate choice for training scenarios with real-world elements that are integral to the simulation experience.
XR-4 Focal Edition reaches an unprecedented 51 PPD in passthrough and introduces the world’s first XR gaze-driven autofocus camera system. Dual 20-megapixel front mounted cameras and the autofocus system improve near and far field vision and create the industry’s best mixed reality experience for cockpit use cases. Users can read displays, controls, text, symbols and distant objects in true-to-life clarity in mixed reality.
Compatibility with software you already use.
Varjo’s mixed and virtual reality headsets are fully compatible with a rapidly expanding collection of the most widely used 3D platforms and software. We support Unity™, Unreal Engine™, OpenXR 1.0 and hundreds of other industrial VR training and simulation software, including Lockheed Martin Prepar3d™, VBS BlueIG™ and FlightSafety Vital™.
Practice made perfect.
