Varjo

“Even our cadets can, after a short XR training session, carry out basic procedures inside a real battle tank. That knowledge improves our safety and ultimately helps us defend our country.”

““I see the future of simulation training becoming more and more dependent upon head mounted devices. It provides a very cost-effective solution with a smaller footprint that can be deployed anywhere in the world.””

““Varjo was selected as part of the initial production configuration primarily because of its blend of technology and its ability to meet our demanding requirements,” explains Eric Carr , Program Director at Cole Engineering Services Inc. “The headsets are manufactured in a TAA-compliant environment, and they don't emit any kind of radio frequencies which would make them inappropriate to use in a high-secure environment.””

““What really matters for a program like RVCT is visual acuity,” Jackson explains. “Being able to see instrument panels and displays clearly, read information accurately – and almost forget that there’s a camera between you and your physical environment.””

““XR is a great match for a program like RVCT,” says Jackson. “It allows us to condense the training footprint while ensuring users get the best environment, simulation, and immersion.””

““Introducing mixed reality into our program is going to help the soldier feel immersed and train like they fight,” says Shane Jackson , Chief Engineer for RVCT at Cole Engineering. “And that’s the goal of every training system we put out there: to make our soldiers better.””

““Our goal is to share our experiences and bring more safety to this industry. The combination of the Varjo headset, the avatar design, and the cockpit with all the switches makes it the best simulator I’ve ever flown,””

““We were amazed by the performance of the simulator. The advantages of VR headsets are simply game-changing."”

““That’s why we love Varjo, because you can get that perspective that you just cannot with a traditional computer screen.””

““You can do all this in iterative loops, modifying the model, sending it to Keyshot, KeyVR, and to the headset where someone can review and give live feedback based on a full-scale digital twin in a real environment.””

““With Varjo, Framery was able to save one month in the new product design process.””

““With the Focal Edition, we’re able to give them that high level of security as we can use an offline license so there’s no connection to the Internet,””

““The initial feedback on the Varjo Focal Edition has been positive. The users enjoy the ability to see things close, specifically the avionics panel.””

““We introduced the Varjo Focal Edition headset on our MR device to a military customer recently and they really appreciate the ability to see something within that 45-centimeter focal range, specifically their avionics. They appreciate the ability to reach out and tactically feel or touch that knob or that button or their iPad which they may use as their electronic flight bag””

““We’re continually looking for further synergies and ways to fully utilize all the capabilities offered by Varjo within mixed-reality and virtual-reality environments, combining these with our extensive experience in flight simulation,””

““Varjo aligned perfectly with our objectives.””

““With its advanced capabilities, including hand tracking, mixed reality, eye tracking, high-resolution passthrough and exceptional overall visual quality, Varjo aligned perfectly with our objectives,””

““It effectively guides pilots toward building spatial awareness and familiarization with cockpit procedures. It moves us significantly closer to genuine hands-on experience and improved safety,””

““The resolution provided by these headsets is excellent. I believe it meets a high standard in terms of visual clarity,””

““The Varjo headset provides full 360-degree view of the virtual world while providing accurately masked passthrough regions to allow for natural interactions with the fight controls and instrumentation,””

““It’s all about saving time and cost. Overall, the advantages of using VR and XR are immense in both development and stakeholder engagement,””

““Mixed reality enhances the overall experience significantly. When you see the cockpit, the throttles, and all the controls, it gives you a much better sense of what you're doing.””

“User experience is going to be a key design and business priority in the future of mobility and Panasonic’s commitment to providing meaningful mobility experiences. Leveraging advanced technologies like VR, we aim to introduce added value and safety into every journey,”

“With this technology, possibilities are endless. It enables us to create various scenarios, use cases, and immersive experiences,”

“UX testing in VR is often challenging with lower-resolution headsets due to the screen door effect, making it hard to identify minor UX elements. The high-resolution capacity of the Varjo XR-3 removes this obstacle, enabling comprehensive UX testing.”
