Train any time, any place
Realistic Flight Environments at Lower Cost
Traditional dome or full-motion simulators deliver high fidelity but they come with enormous costs, large footprints, long lead times, and limited availability. As the global pilot shortage grows, training organizations need realistic alternatives that scale.
With XR-based simulators, footprint shrinks, deployment accelerates, and costs drop ,while training outcomes improve. For example: when integrated into U.S. Air Force training, XR devices helped students reach solo flights 30% faster.
As VR/XR technology continues to advance, headset-based flight training solutions are making significant strides toward broader regulatory recognition.
Enhance visual realism with XR
Extending the Capabilities of Flight Training Devices
Mixed reality allows flight training organizations to enhance existing Flight Training Devices with more realistic visual training without the cost and complexity of full-motion simulators.
Used in FAA- and EASA-recognized devices, mixed reality helps organizations extend the value of their current simulators, increase training effectiveness, and prepare for future training requirements.
When integrated with certified FSTDs, Varjo headsets help bridge the gap between procedural training and real-world operational performance by closely replicating how pilots see and interpret the flight environment.
Certified performance
Varjo Headsets Selected as Part of First FAA Approved VR Flight Simulation Training Device
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States Department of Transportation has for the first time officially qualified a virtual reality-based training solution for aviation training. Developed and built by Loft Dynamics, the global leader in virtual reality flight simulation training devices (FSTDs), the simulator uses Varjo’s high-resolution virtual reality headsets to simulate a realistic training experience in an immersive environment.
