Czech Air Force fighter pilots and US Navy V-22 Osprey operators will be among the target customers for Vrgineers’ XTAL 3 CAVU (Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited) mixed reality (MR) headset, the company claimed at I/ITSEC 2023 in Orlando, Florida.
Vrgineers has used the military training and simulation conference to unveil its latest head-mounted display (HMD), which it has been working on with graphical chip makers AMD and NVIDIA.
According to its manufacturer, the MR device has been designed to eliminate calculation bottlenecks and bring mixed-reality technology to the forefront of the industry using 24Mpix image sensors connected to Xilinx FPGA PCIe16x cards via optical cables.

The service has shown an interest in a range of training solutions from individual to battalion levels and plans to award multiple contracts ahead of new programmes set to run from FY2024 to FY2031.
VirTra has unveiled the integration of VBS4 and BlueIG into its simulator systems with the aim of enhancing the capabilities of its technology for military training.
The company has also used its platform at I/ITSEC 2023 to announce a new partnership with the Switzerland-based firm EDMS.
SAMT, a laserless, plug-and-play mobile system, can incorporate small arms, anti-tank weapons, military vehicles and remote weapon stations.
For the first time CAE exhibited a digital F-16 cockpit integrated with the Simulators Common Architecture Requirements and Standards (SCARS) marking a major step forward in training equipment virtualisation.
Deploying several simulation solutions with different operating systems and programming languages has been a challenge for armed forces worldwide.
