Düsseldorf-based Rheinmetall AG, a defence and security technology provider, and Hologate, a provider of advanced Extended Reality (XR) solutions in the fields of simulation and entertainment, plan to cooperate closely in the development of new simulation solutions in the future.
In a world where the requirements for training systems and methods for educating drivers are becoming increasingly complex, realistic and highly advanced simulation technologies are essential. By combining Rheinmetall’s extensive expertise in the field of military training systems and Hologate’s expertise in the development of XR simulation technologies, the entities plan to develop a new level of simulation capabilities.
“This partnership is an important step for Rheinmetall in further expanding our portfolio of VR/XR training and simulation solutions,” explained Hanno Tabeling, Head of System Technology for Driving Simulation at Rheinmetall. “With Hologate’s state-of-the-art software, we will be able to offer our customers even more realistic and flexible training options. The development of a VR driving simulator for training military drivers is the first tangible result of our collaboration.”
Hologate brings in extensive expertise from projects with the German armed forces and police. The AI- and trainer-controlled solutions enable a holistic and realistic training experience.
The mobile XR motion simulator HGXR SIM enables a wide range of applications, including helicopter, truck and boat simulations. Thanks to its open system architecture and virtual control panels, it is possible to switch quickly between different vehicle models by pushing a button.
The advanced motion tracking technology minimizes latency and simulates dynamic G-forces of up to 2g. A motion range of one meter lift and tilts up to 30 degrees offers a precise and realistic training environment.
