01 — Why ARworks
Working technology. Practical experience. Professional relationships.
We bring working systems to defense tasks, not concepts: delivered simulators, development carried out together with military specialists, and institutional cooperation.
-
01
Working technology
Delivered, demonstrated VR simulators, an AR defense product showcase and an AI touchscreen system — for Meta Quest, mobile and touchscreen platforms.
-
02
Practical experience
Marksmanship, close combat, battlefield casualty care, air rescue: applications developed together with military and medical specialists.
-
03
Professional network
Domestic institutions, international manufacturers and research partners: showcases, projects and joint R&D together show how we connect to the sector.

03 — Training-system integration
The simulator is a module of the training system
In the VIKI HADIK training kit, three ARworks applications run on Meta Quest 3, connected to the Skilldict learning system (status as of September 2026).

What the link is for
- Task assignment
- Result storage
- Instructor feedback
01
Theory and practice in one system
The VR exercise can be fitted to theoretical training, task assignment, result storage and instructor feedback.
02
Results and telemetry
Time, errors, decision order, movement data and outcome can be logged; the instructor sees individual and group progress.
03
Open integration
SCORM, xAPI or a custom API, as the target system requires; a new module drops into the existing process.
04 — International presence
Showcases, partners, joint R&D
At the Hungarian national stands at Eurosatory in Paris and Defence & Security in Bangkok, visitors could see ARworks’ XR training and simulation offering.

05 — Development directions
What we can build on our existing know-how
New fields of application built on our proven 3D, simulation and AI technology. We have no delivered defense reference for these yet — which is why we mark them separately.
Buildable
Vehicles, equipment, sites and operational environments in 3D — updated with live data where needed.
Buildable
A spatial interface for operators of drones and ground robots: situational picture, sensor data, mission status.
Buildable
Making complex simulations easy to oversee: participants, rules, goals, parameters, results.
Buildable
An instructor, virtual patient or expert aide that explains, asks questions and reacts to decisions.
Buildable
Reaction time, attention, orientation, memory, performance under load — measured digitally.
Buildable
Short interactive experiences for getting to know roles; life-size AR and touchscreen product demonstrations.
06 — How we work
We start from the professional goal and choose the technology to fit
- 01
Task and target environment
Users, roles, hardware, the situation of use.
- 02
Expert content
Procedures, equipment data, measurement goals — your experts define the content and the assessment.
- 03
Prototype
Trying out the key interaction or the technical uncertainty before full development starts.
- 04
Development and integration
3D environment, interface, application logic, assessment; AI, sensor, LMS and database connections.
- 05
User testing
Fine-tuning based on expert and user feedback.
- 06
Rollout and extension
Documentation, operation, new scenarios and modules.
What we measure
- Execution time
- Number of errors
- Equipment knowledge
- Handling of the decision situation
We measure results against goals set in advance — numerical impact comes from the measurements of the specific project.
Platforms and technology
- Unity
- Unreal
- WebXR
- Meta Quest
- PC VR
- Android / iOS AR
- Touchscreen and kiosk
- Browser-based 3D
- AI integration
- Sensors
- LMS (SCORM, xAPI)
07 — Next step
Let us arrange a short professional briefing
We will show you the working simulators and jointly identify two or three areas where a pilot, or the adaptation of an existing solution, could make a real difference.
- 01Hands-on
Trying a few working VR and AR applications.
- 02Identifying areas
Two or three areas where a pilot or adaptation makes sense.
- 03Proposal
A delivery model and schedule for a shared decision.
