The Varjo XR-3
Varjo's VR headsets, partly due to their human-eye resolution, are increasingly being used within professional companies and organizations. In this blog, we provide several real-life use cases of companies using the Varjo XR-3 headset on a daily basis.
Training & Simulation
The future of pilot training with LVC & Mixed Reality
The Finnish Air Force, Varjo, Patria, and Bohemia Interactive Simulations have collaborated on a groundbreaking Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) training solution. The innovative project demonstrates how a virtual simulation can enhance physical exercises and contribute to the further development of new trainings.
Tenstar: Learning to safely operate heavy machinery in virtual reality
By linking Tenstar's machine simulators to Varjo's virtual reality headsets, users can safely practice operating heavy machinery in demanding and lifelike situations. Because the simulation can be done entirely virtually, it is no longer location- and cost-dependent.
FlightSafety & Varjo: Mixed reality is a breakthrough for aviation training
Varjo and FlightSafety International have collaborated to present a mixed reality flight trainer. In this, users can see the real flight controls, all instrument panels, and their own hands while flying in a photorealistic virtual environment. Particularly the 'mixed reality' applications (the combination of the real world and virtual world) are very well developed here.
Design & Development
Kia: Driving the future with XR collaboration in car design
Kia Motors has always been a market leader when it comes to implementing new and innovative technology in their design process. Now that Varjo is supported by Autodesk VRED, Kia's visualization process can be converted into a fully photorealistic mixed reality experience. Kia uses the Varjo XR-3 for model evaluation, and due to the virtual application, is no longer dependent on locations.
Volvo: The world's first mixed reality test drive
Together, Volvo Cars and Varjo are literally driving the future by creating the world's first mixed reality approach for evaluating prototypes, designs, and active safety technologies. For the first time ever, Volvo Cars and Varjo have made it possible to drive a real car while wearing a mixed reality headset, seamlessly adding virtual elements that seem real.
Siemens: VR reduces the design process from days and hours to minutes
Siemens has moved a part of product development entirely to the online world. With the human-eye resolution of the Varjo headsets, designers can work on design and development from their own workplace, and products are easy to share without physically being together.
Varjo & Laerdal: Bringing immersive healthcare training to life
Laerdal is a global leader in patient simulation. The company has 1,500 employees in 24 countries developing products and programs to help healthcare providers improve patient outcomes and survival. Laerdal's mission is ambitious: to help save an additional one million lives each year by 2030. To this end, Laerdal collaborates with Varjo with the goal of developing the next generation of immersive, effective mixed reality training for medical scenarios.
VR in surgery: Delivering the reliability surgeons need for training
Training in virtual reality is the future. Surgeons from Osgenic also use the virtual reality applications to train surgeons with complex operations. Resolution and detail are particularly important for these applications. For this reason, they chose to use the Varjo headsets with human-eye resolution.
