World’s First 4K 300-Degree Simulator Unveiled by VirTra at IACP Conference
October 15 2019 - 8:00AM
VirTra, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTSI), a global provider of
training simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational,
and commercial markets, will debut the first-of-its-kind, Ultra
High Definition 300-degree immersive training simulator, which
combines five state-of-the-art laser-based 4K projectors, at the
International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference
from October 26-29, 2019.
VirTra began preparing to utilize future 4K high-resolution
displays approximately six years ago with the goal of replicating
human visual acuity in a new line of simulation products. Given
trainees’ dependence on their vision, these advancements are
paramount to ensuring simulations are as realistic and effective as
possible. By more accurately reproducing objects, subtle visual
details, body language, and non-verbal threat cues, these new
simulators more perfectly replicate simulations of real-world
encounters. In conjunction with the new simulators, VirTra will be
releasing updated versions of its certified V-VICTA curriculum,
which will include Autism Spectrum Disorders, Special Populations,
and Emotionally Disturbed Persons, among others.
“When VirTra released the first affordable 300-degree training
simulator in 2004, we pushed the technological limits at that
time,” said VirTra’s Chairman and CEO, Bob Ferris. “Today, we’re
continuing to push those limits to provide our customers with the
most effective and realistic solutions possible. To bring these
enhancements to market, our software engineering and digital
content teams overcame severe technical challenges to enable
human-eye resolution with video-based, interactive training content
without any perceptible lag or noticeable visual artifacts across
multiple screens.
“Training to correctly handle potentially dangerous individuals
in a high-stress, realistic, and dynamic environment is
particularly difficult but extremely valuable for law enforcement
and military agencies. Research has demonstrated that the
more accurately training simulations can reproduce lifelike
situations, the more effective that training becomes. This
advancement ushers in a new era of simulation realism for both
judgmental use-of-force and marksmanship training.”
VirTra’s General Manager, Jason Mulcahy, stated, “Our
industry-leading V-VICTA curriculum requires the accurate and
timely recognition of an object or movement that could mean the
difference between life or death. By leveraging near perfect visual
acuity in the simulator, we can now help train officers to
recognize and appropriately respond to more subtle nuances in human
behavior and movement, which weren’t possible with previous
technology. By combining this new advancement with VirTra’s other
simulation advantages, we have set a new, higher standard for the
industry.”
VirTra will showcase additional products and offerings during
the three days at the IACP Conference, including the V-DTS™ driver
simulator, V-VICTA™, V-Threat-Fire™, and Advanced Skills Magazines
for both handguns and rifles. To learn more about these and other
