Sign up below to watch our on-demand webinar, where you’ll hear the story behind the VR training development at Boeing’s Starliner program, and learn about the benefits of immersive training for the most demanding professional applications.

Learn how Boeing, Varjo and Unreal Engine are transcending the way astronauts are trained.

With Varjo, the Boeing Starliner program unlocks an entirely new way for astronauts to prepare for spaceflight. Varjo allows astronaut training – from pre-launch to docking to landing – entirely in VR for the first time.

“Being able to read the crew displays with a VR headset from a normal position in the capsule was mandatory. Without that, we were really stuck – until we found a headset that worked.” – Connie Miller, Boeing

The Boeing Starliner program has unlocked an entirely new way for astronauts to prepare for spaceflight. Using Varjo’s human-eye resolution VR powered by Unreal Engine, Boeing is able to train astronauts for each phase of the entire mission – from pre-launch to docking to landing – entirely in virtual reality for the first time.

We are joined by VR training experts from Boeing, Unreal Engine, and Varjo.
