VR training / Defense & Driver Training

Put drivers behind the wheel before the road does.

VR driver training for defense, law enforcement and fleet teams. Practice vehicle control, hazards and emergency braking in a simulator, with no vehicle at risk.

01 / The problem

Road time is expensive, and mistakes on it are real.

  1. 01

    Seat time is scarce

    Vehicles, instructors and a safe place to train are all limited, so new drivers get fewer hours than they need.

  2. 02

    The dangerous moments are rare

    Sudden hazards, poor road surfaces and emergency stops cannot be staged safely on a real road.

  3. 03

    Every vehicle drives differently

    Drivers move between vehicles with different handling, controls and driver assists.

02 / See it work

See the work. Then picture your team.

The demo above is a working HapzXR project sample. The scenarios below illustrate how the training can be adapted to different roles and procedures.

03 / Try the scenarios

The situations that matter. Space to practice them.

Pick a situation. Each one shows where the learner starts, what they practice and what the trainer gets back.

Scenario 01New and transferring drivers

Vehicle setup and familiarization

You're here

A driver is assigned a vehicle they have not driven before.

Capture from the build

Learner practices

Choose the vehicle, weather, road surface and assists, then learn the controls before moving off.

Trainer sees

Review which checks were skipped before the vehicle moved.

Discuss this scenario
Scenario 02All drivers

Stop signs and junctions

You're here

A course with stop signs and marked stop lines.

Capture from the build

Learner practices

Approach, stop at the line and clear each junction the way the procedure requires.

Trainer sees

Review stopping points, approach speed and any missed signs.

Discuss this scenario
Scenario 03Drivers and instructors

Hazards and emergency braking

You're here

A braking zone appears ahead on a coned course.

Capture from the build

Learner practices

Brake and steer through it, with and without ABS and traction control.

Trainer sees

Review the braking point and the line through the cones with the instructor.

Discuss this scenario

Scenarios are illustrative. Final scope and procedures are agreed with your team.

05 / What we have delivered

What we have delivered.

We built the driver training simulation for VR Motion Corp in Oregon. VR Motion reports clients including the US Military, law enforcement and state agencies, and Tata Elxsi distributes its software in India. The footage on this page is from that build, tested in our studio.

Who is behind this

Built with people who train drivers.

We do not keep specialists on payroll. For each program we bring in an advisor from the field, and they review every scenario with your instructors before it ships.

How a pilot works

From your procedure to a working pilot.

  1. 1

    Give us the task

    Roles, procedures, site information and what people need to get right.

  2. 2

    We adapt the training

    Scenario, environment, assessment and reporting.

  3. 3

    Run it with a small group

    Review what happened before deciding whether to scale.

VR supports practice and assessment. It does not replace required qualifications, supervised practical training or your site-specific safety procedures.

Before you decide

A few practical questions.

Ask us something else
Who uses this simulation today?

We built the driving simulation for VR Motion, a US driver-training company. VR Motion reports clients including the US Military, law enforcement and state agencies, and its software is distributed in India by Tata Elxsi.

Is this a certified driving simulator?

No. It is practice and assessment in VR, not a licensing tool. It supports your instructors and your approved driver training; it does not replace them.

Can it match our vehicles and routes?

Vehicles, routes and scenarios are scoped with your team. We quote after one call.

What hardware does it need?

A VR headset with a steering wheel and pedals. It can also run on a motion platform for a more realistic feel.
