“Nothing happens until something moves,” is an Albert Einstein quote that the team at D-Box Technologies, Inc. in Longueuil, Quebec, takes to heart. The company develops state-of-the-art hybrid motion technology solutions – hardware and software – for training and simulation applications, creating kinaesthetic cues and building operator psychomotor reflexes.
That may sound like scientific gobbledygook to some of us. Which is why D-Box has invited visitors to I/ITSEC 2014 in Orlando this week to test drive a live, motion-enabled light armoured vehicle simulator for themselves.
Further demonstrating the trend towards partnerships and collaborative approaches to market opportunities, D-Box partnered with fellow Canadian company VRX Simulators, Ltd., which specialises in custom simulators designed to train operators – such as high performance race car drivers or aviators – to handle the forces exerted on both vehicle and person in intense environments.
Coupling D-Box motion technology with a VRX custom simulator and using the former’s VBS3 plugin, the result is the VBS3 Driving Simulator, which replicates ambient and specific vibrations in vehicular motion – including engines, rotors, ground textures, collisions and weapons effects. The kinaesthetic cues derived from the combination of effects in the simulator engage operators and prepare them for field operations.
Immersive simulations such as the VBS3 Driving Simulator provide trainees with accurate real-time feedback and enhance the utility and effectiveness of training scenarios. But don’t take our word for it: visit D-Box on booth 613 and try it out for yourself!
