BeBop Sensors & Talon Simulations Awarded Epic MegaGrant to develop a haptic glove-driven, full-motion VR trainer built for the Unreal Engine
EntSun News/10838040
The "Hands-On Immersive Full-Motion VR Trainer" will create an immersive cockpit/driver VR training platform integrating haptic touch, full-motion, and Unreal integration into an economical and portable chassis for Unreal Engine application developers.
BERKELEY, Calif. - EntSun -- BeBop Sensors, a haptic glove technology leader, and Talon Simulations a leader in industrial gaming simulation together announced that they have received an Epic Games MegaGrant to develop an economical "Hands-on Immersive Full-Motion VR Trainer" for the Unreal Engine. The joint development will provide military and commercial aviation training entities with a unique full-motion simulator providing a heightened sense of realism and lasting training benefits at a significantly lower price point.
The training platform will showcase the integration of BeBop Sensors' Forte Data Gloves with Talon Simulations' A3 Full-Motion Simulator offering 2-degrees-of-motion with integrated glove haptics such as force feedback and virtual cockpit control interaction to improve immersion and training realism. The grant will allow both companies to co-develop SDKs/APIs/haptic editors for the Unreal Engine, making it easier for developers to integrate haptic gloves and motion into VR-based training solutions. The compact units will be lightweight, easily portable, and reconfigurable with various flight and driver controllers at a price point far below traditional full-motion simulators offered today.
"By virtualizing the cockpit in VR and using haptic gloves to simulate the touch sensation, we allow instructors and courseware designers to economically build more aircraft/vehicle variants without additional hardware costs and switch seamlessly between variants to improve student throughput. At the same time, we're improving muscle memory and reducing muscle scaring by allowing them to use their hands naturally as they would in the real world – this changes the way simulator training will be delivered going forward," noted Jerry Kurtze, VP of Sales & Marketing for BeBop Sensors

"Static flight simulators are fatiguing for students over time as they become disconnected from what their eyes are seeing in VR but not feeling in their inner ear. By providing accurate motion cues to a fully immersive simulation, students are able to train for longer periods of time and studies show that we can increase the effectiveness in transfer of training to the real world. Together with Unreal software developers, we will be able to offer a robust, portable, and reliable simulator that can reduce training costs for a variety of applications," said Brandon Naids, CEO of Talon Simulations.
