How to effectively and realistically simulate cognitive load as pilots train for complex air operations?  The Solution: Leading-edge LVC Training System with Varjo Mixed Reality and Pilot Performance Data

Varjo began collaborating with the Finnish Air Force, Patria and BI Simulations in the fall of 2020 to demonstrate the future of pilot training. Using Varjo’s virtual and mixed reality technology with human-eye resolution (over 70 pixels per degree), pilots can now distinguish even the smallest details in the cockpit and experience a highly photorealistic simulated training environment. The integrated eye tracking of the VR/XR headsets at <1-degree accuracy can also be used for collecting data on pilots’ eye movements and reactions for the operator analytics system.

The outcome: a Pioneering LVC Cloud Training Demonstration featuring:

• Finnish Air Force BAE Systems Hawk fighter jets in the air
• Federated Varjo mixed reality technology on the ground
• Real-time exercise monitoring of AI controlled targets
• Bohemia Interactive Simulations’ image generators
• A performance analytics system developed by Patria
• Networked physical simulators and simulator classrooms on the ground
