Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appear to be real, making the user feel they are immersed in their surroundings.
Mixed reality (MR) merges a real-world environment and a computer-generated one. Photogrammetry is the science of collecting physical information from 2D photos and generation of photorealistic 3D representations.
In our laboratory, you will find the most advanced mixed & virtual reality hardware from Finland (Varjo) and holographic device from the US (HoloLens 2).
Varjo makes the highest-immersion virtual and mixed reality products for advanced users. Varjo software and hardware will allow you to see and experience virtual and augmented content just as clearly as you see the analogue world around us. It enables users to see clearer, perform better and learn faster.
Varjo virtual reality (VR-3) and mixed reality (XR-3) headsets unlock new professional applications and make photorealistic mixed reality and virtual reality more accessible than ever, allowing professionals to see clearer, perform better and learn faster. Varjo technology enables the following:
Varjo Aero is the lightest & brightest VR headset available for both professional and recreational use. Industry-leading visual fidelity for aviators, creators, and VR forerunners. With function similar to the headsets above, Varjo Aero is designed to feel weightless, allowing you to escape gravity and be completely immersed in your VR experience. A perfected combination of our industry-leading three-point precision head strap, a carefully calibrated counterweight, and active cooling, make multi-hour VR sessions for flying, driving, or designing a pleasure to complete.
Varjo technologies are used to:
Pilot training – VRM Switzerland example
Varjo Aero delivers the precision that pilots need.
VRM Switzerland is one of the pioneering companies who have tested and used Varjo Aero in early access. They have been able to take advantage of the ultra high fidelity, true-to-life visual experience provided by the new headset. VRM’s state-of-the-art helicopter motion simulation platform features Varjo Aero as a key component.
The result? A flight simulation experience that is so immersive and realistic that it has in fact already been certified by the EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, for professional pilots to log virtual reality flight hours.
Hear what Fabi Riesen, CEO of VRM Switzerland, has to say about the simulation solution that delivers the high-quality visuals that pilots need.
