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.

  1. 01
    Hands-on

    Trying a few working VR and AR applications.

  2. 02
    Identifying areas

    Two or three areas where a pilot or adaptation makes sense.

Sniper VR: the scope view on the virtual range, with distance and wind data

VIKI · 2024 Delivered

Sniper VR

Zeroing a sniper rifle scope

The point of the exercise is not the shot but the precise adjustment of the reticle: the trainee works from target distance, wind direction, wind speed and the ballistic table. Every new target brings different conditions.

  • Tikka T3X rifle, virtual targets at 400–800 metres
  • Distance, wind direction and wind speed change from shot to shot
  • Four languages: Hungarian, English, French, German
  • First presented at Eurosatory 2024

ARworks’ role

  • UX/UI: simplified military design
  • Programming: hand-tremor compensation while looking through the scope
  • External hardware: the virtual rifle fitted to a physical sniper stand

Platform

  • Meta Quest 3
  • Unity

Can be extended

  • AI spotter and instructor tutorial
  • Assessment and progress tracking in an instructor interface
