Numerous participants took the opportunity to take a personal test drive and were deeply impressed by the highly realistic driving experience.

The 4^th symposium ‘Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality in Bundeswehr‘ is organized by WTD 91, Business Area 450. The symposium addresses a wide audience from the German armed forces, industry and research, with the goal of presenting the current and future range of application of these technologies in a practice-oriented manner.

During 15 specialist presentations, the participants were able to get a broad overview of current VR/AR/MR projects and the state of research in Bundeswehr. 8 live demonstrators allowing real hands-on-experience complemented the presentations.

With a presentation in the auditorium, BRUNNER introduced the NovaSim VR/MR product, the advantages of modularity and scalability as well as the training applications implemented so far. This introduction was supported by inviting the participants to a personal test drive on a NovaSim | DRIVE VR driving simulator.

The exhibited NovaSim | DRIVE uses the simulation platform VBS 3/4, which has already been introduced in the Bundeswehr, together with the image generator VBS Blue IG, integrates a high-quality driving model of the Stryker armored vehicle from CMLabs, and brings the visual display to perfection via the VARJO VR-3 headset.

The interest of the participants to experience the NovaSim | DRIVE personally was impressive and the feedback was consistently positive and enthusiastic. Numerous side-by-side discussions clearly showed that the NovaSim will find its way into various training applications of the Bundeswehr.

In addition to the NovaSim | DRIVE, we also presented the TeslaSuit haptic full body suit in the exhibition. It provides haptic feedback on arms and legs, biometric detection sensors for monitoring health values ​​and whole-body detection using motion capturing. This innovative product, represented by BRUNNER, found high interest and gained a lot of attention.
