They create a virtual reality combat simulator that simulates an F-18 for the US Navy.

The Mass Virtual's Virtual Attain platform helps US Navy 'Top Guns' using virtual reality technology to keep their combat skills fresh without the need to get on a plane. The pilots make use of virtual reality simulation through a specialized company called Mass Virtual that makes use of NVIDIA Quadro P6000 graphics cards. Now at the I / ITSEC simulation and training conferences in Orlando, Florida, a simulator of these characteristics will be seen for the first time.

This company has been contracted by the United States Navy, to combine immersion through software, the experience of aircraft combat. A special demo system has been created based on the simulation of a real F-18 fighter plane. The cockpit of the plane is highly detailed and a joystick has been designed so that the combat simulation is as realistic as possible. To develop this simulator NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards have been used to move the virtual reality system of Mass Virtual.

During the I / ITSEC there will be a demonstration of this technology using servers powered by the Quadro P6000, which allow controlling up to four partial versions of the virtual reality program in the Oculus and VIVE virtual reality glasses. NVIDIA graphics should move the simulation smoothly on up to four platforms.

This experience will not reach the mortal of the users, it will only be available to the US Army, but it is not ruled out that in the future we can see this type of simulators on platforms that are accessible to the public. Flight simulators, such as Flight Simulator, do not rule out that they will receive a version designed for virtual reality in the future. Would you like to test an F-18 with virtual reality as much as we do?
