Virtas

A VR weapon training simulator built for precise and immersive training with multiple weapon types.

Virtas is a VR weapon training simulator built for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. It features multiple weapon types, environments, precise grouping tracking and hand presence. I built this project shortly after leaving a 6 year part time career in the Australian Army. The simulators I used while training were flat screen and low resolution which in my opinion offered little training value beyond weapon safety and long range grouping. I felt like I could build something much better, especially with the experience I’d gained as a grunt. I got Virtas to an MVP with the above features but failed to secure the funding required to create a polished product, leaving Virtas as a functional prototype I’m quite proud of.
