If you have followed VirTra for any amount of time, you will know that IACP is a staple for us. It is a chance for us to show our newest simulation technology, upcoming products, and sometimes a surprise debut. Over the years, the event has given VirTra numerous occasions to display our virtual reality training advancements to law enforcement agencies looking for effective training.

V-300 4K®

Our most advanced 5-screen simulator, the V-300 4K® made its debut at IACP in 2019. This immersive simulator uses 4K projectors to give officers a crystal-clear picture of the simulated event they are going through.

Officers heavily rely on their sight during the job – and even subtle nuances can signal a possible threat. By more accurately reproducing objects and subjects, body language and non-verbal threat cues, the V-300 4K more perfectly replicates real-world encounters.

Multi-Incident Scenarios

At VirTra, we place high value on the quality of our content. While advanced hardware and large screens are impressive, the learning that results from our virtual reality training advancements is what we strive for. Each scenario and skill drill is crafted by in-house subject matter experts and a team of content developers.

Scenarios cover a wide range of topics of value to law enforcement. Active shooters, mentally ill subjects, traffic stops, and domestic situations are just some examples. With an average of 85 branching options per scenario, no single event is guaranteed to go a certain way. Almost every scenario can be resolved entirely with verbal de-escalation – not requiring the officer to fire their weapon or less lethal device.

Recoil Hardware and Marksmanship

To make firearms training more realistic and transferrable, VirTra users can train with drop-in recoil kits and refillable CO2 magazines. Users can fire their real weapons in the VirTra simulators without the need for permanent modification.

In addition, the V-Marksmanship® program provides ballistically accurate, customizable range options. Agencies save on the cost of ammunition and practice on a simulated range first, where they can perfect their skills virtually before switching to a live fire range.

Less Lethal

We want to make sure officers can train at all ends of the force spectrum – and that includes less lethal equipment. ECW devices and OC spray are laser-based and on-screen subjects will react accordingly when targeted. Virtual reality training should not be limited to only shoot-don’t-shoot!

V-Threat-Fire®

The V-Threat-Fire is the patented consequence device that changed the game for virtual reality training. When a user is fired upon, bitten by a dog, or in an explosion, instructors can activate an adjustable electric impulse. It is tested for safety and can be switched to vibration mode if preferred.

 

If you have any questions, VirTra representatives will be available anytime during IACP to discuss our simulation training technology or provide a demonstration. Come see us at Booth #2739 on October 14-17 in San Diego!

This year’s International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) event is just around the corner! Since last year’s event was virtual, VirTra is excited to once again see everyone face-to-face and provide hands-on demonstrations for all personnel in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Be sure to stop by our booth to learn about our cutting-edge technology, new high-end training tools, recently-published V-VICTA nationally-certified law enforcement curriculum and more! Just this year, VirTra unveiled new curriculum that will be installed for free on all current and new customers. This curriculum, as well as realistic scenarios, will be shown on our powerfully immersive V-300 4K simulator.

If you have any training questions, VirTra representatives will be available anytime during the show to answer your questions, share contact information, or demonstrate. Our goal is to ensure your departments are best preparing officers for the field—even when faced with tighter budgets and heavier workloads.

We will see you at IACP in just a few days!

There are only 8 days left until the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) event! Though this year’s event is virtual, VirTra is excited to be sharing information, new products and interacting with law enforcement professionals via a virtual booth.

Attendees can visit VirTra’s online booth in the virtual expo hall. Here, attendees can learn about our cutting-edge technology, new high-end training tools and new V-VICTA curriculum. The booth can be accessed at any time during the event—October 21-23— however, VirTra representatives will be available during the day to answer questions, schedule meetings or share contact information.

VirTra recommends that attendees clear their calendars on Friday, October 23rd from 5-5:30 p.m. Lon Bartel, VirTra’s Director of Training and Curriculum, will be presenting “No, It Isn’t Just a Line, You Really Can Get More with Less”. This session is completely dedicated to the necessity of a scientific transformation in training. Departments can learn how to keep officers best prepared for the field—even when faced with tighter budgets and heavier workloads.

We will see you (virtually) at IACP 2020 in a few weeks!

 

TEMPE, Ariz. — October 17, 2019 — VirTra, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTSI), a global provider of training simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational, and commercial markets, will be introducing driving simulators specifically designed for U.S. Law Enforcement at the IACP Conference on October 26-29, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois.

After years of research and development and successful international deployments during 2019, the VirTra Driver Training Simulator, V-DTS™, is set to make its first U.S. appearance at IACP 2019. These simulators have been specifically designed to fit the unique needs of U.S. Law Enforcement. The high definition environments and decision-making objectives ensure that the focus of training is on the driver’s cognitive learning and decision making rather than just the operation of a vehicle.

The V-DTS combines patented technology with pre-authored or customizable scenarios and Test Facility Tracks designed by internal experts to teach defensive and emergency driving. Instructors can control a trainee’s location, objective, and whether to participate in free drive or work on specific defensive techniques. The photorealistic graphics provide stunning visuals while a combination of vibration and an optional motion platform further immerse trainees in the experience. The simulated vehicle, as well as all other virtual vehicles, obey the laws of physics so that even the weight distribution of vehicles when stopping looks and feels realistic. VirTra has also included incredibly realistic looking real-world hazards such as dust storms, rain, and sun glare.

The V-DTS includes unique features such as multiple screens that help create a 360-degree, realistic experience and an on-screen compass which increases trainees’ cognitive skills by helping them learn to effectively monitor their location and direction of travel. Additionally, the instructor interface supports a full debrief and timeline of events for detailed debriefing with trainees.

“By adding the V-DTS to VirTra’s offerings, we have introduced an entirely new training platform that is aligned with our core values and can help us capture an entirely new market,” said Jason Mulcahy, VirTra’s General Manager. “We understand the disconcerting numbers of injuries and deaths related to vehicular incidents, and it is our belief that by providing officers with an opportunity to improve their training for the most hazardous situations in a simulator, we can help lower the statistics around accidents. We’re therefore excited to introduce these simulators to the U.S. market and set a new, higher standard for vehicular simulation realism at an affordable price point.”

The V-DTS will be revealed for the first time at IACP 2019 at booth #4430 along with other new technology, curriculum, and hardware. Attendees of the conference will have an opportunity to experience the driver training simulator first hand. To schedule your private demo of the V-DTS, sign up here: VirTra IACP 2019
