VirTra to Unveil Ultra High Definition Simulator

VirTra Inc. will debut its Ultra High Definition 300-degree immersive training simulator, which combines five state-of-the-art laser-based 4K projectors, at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference from October 26-29, 2019.

VirTra began preparing to utilize future 4K high-resolutiondisplays approximately six years ago with the goal of replicating human visualacuity in a new line of simulation products. By more accurately reproducingobjects, subtle visual details, body language, and non-verbal threat cues,these new simulators more perfectly replicate simulations of real-world encounters.In conjunction with the new simulators, VirTra will be releasing updatedversions of its certified V-VICTA curriculum, which will include AutismSpectrum Disorders, Special Populations, and Emotionally Disturbed Persons,among others.

“Training to correctly handle potentially dangerousindividuals in a high-stress, realistic, and dynamic environment isparticularly difficult but extremely valuable for law enforcement and militaryagencies.  Research has demonstrated thatthe more accurately training simulations can reproduce lifelike situations, themore effective that training becomes. This advancement ushers in a new era ofsimulation realism for both judgmental use-of-force and marksmanship training,”

VirTra’s General Manager, Jason Mulcahy, stated, “By leveragingnear perfect visual acuity in the simulator, we can now help train officers torecognize and appropriately respond to more subtle nuances in human behaviorand movement, which weren’t possible with previous technology.”

VirTra will showcase additional products and offeringsduring the three days at the IACP Conference, including the V-DTS driversimulator, V-VICTA, V-Threat-Fire, and Advanced Skills Magazines for bothhandguns and rifles.
