VR/XR for defense and government use cases

A new era of preparedness

The biggest challenges of today can only be met head-on. And the ability to simulate scenarios from high-stakes military ops to life-saving medical procedures can no longer be held back by technology that’s stuck in the past.

The time has come to step away from traditional simulators and into a totally new way to work.

Varjo for Simulated Training

Train any time, any place

Reduce the cost of training by up to 99%+ with low-cost, immersive learning environments to replace or supplement traditional training solutions
Increase training velocity and enable more trainees to become proficient in less time by using XR and VR training tactics
Optimize user engagement with a solution where trainees want to engage in and repeat exercises
Increase the value of existing part-task simulators with full field of view, immersive visuals using mixed reality technology
Reduce travel time and costs by training at the point of need, thanks to portability and reduced simulator size
Train effectively for the most dangerous scenarios in a completely safe immersive environment
