The managers and engineers on the Serious Simulations team pride themselves on producing effective simulators and training devices using unique innovations where current simulator technology falls short. Our approach is to simply not accept the gaps that exist between current technologies and current needs, but instead to innovate and invent solutions to address these gaps.

Innovation is encouraged and rewarded in our company, and no blossoming ideas are ever dismissed without exploration. We find unique technological solutions exclusively through the creativity and experience of our people, who come from a wide background of practical application development in the military, the simulation industry, electronics design community, hardware development, mechanical engineering, and computer systems engineering.

Examples of our innovative approach to simulation challenges have brought us together with the world’s leading simulation and defense corporations, the U.S. military agencies and commands, and foreign enterprises. We have teamed on nearly all the major infantry related and vehicle simulation programs proposed by the Army since our founding in 2014. Our teammates invite us to participate because of our innovative capabilities and willingness to tackle new challenges.

In just six years, our patent portfolio consists of nine patents, and numerous “trade secrets” in both hardware and software development. The following are a sample of innovations and inventions created by Serious Simulations engineers and product designers to fill technology gaps to provide better, more immersive training using simulators or live force-on-force:

»Wireless video, audio, and data transmission for head mounted displays with extremely low latency (2 patents)

»Completely untethered, full human motion VR and MR simulators

»Integration of real weapons in VR and MR simulators through unobtrusive wireless instrumentation packages and safe feedback     devices (patented)

»Wireless, High Definition, Head and Helmet Mounted Displays enabling human peripheral vision in the virtual world

»Weapon specific miniature edge computer to enable vision processing, machine learning, and other high-end computational tasks in   Linux or Windows, with video and audio capture, and wireless communications (patented, exclusive partner)

»Power provision, management, and protection circuitry package for real weapon mounted electronics (patented)

»High accuracy, zero drift weapon tracking devices for crew served weapons in VR simulators (patented)

»Inverse kinematic plug-in software for translating human motions onto VBS3/4 avatars

»Wireless weapon-mounted avatar locomotion device for VR simulators

»Hand grenade/mine/IED simulator technology for use in live force on force training providing accurate and immediate damage effects calculations and sound and light feedback (patented)

»Adaptable controls of simulation/game engines through use of an agnostic design (2 patents)

»Tiny small arms weapon-mounted video, audio, instrumentation, 6 DOF tracking, SLAM processing, vision processing, and multiple wireless communication means for Armed Security and Armed Teachers and Law Enforcement for countering and eliminating Active Shooters

In summary, the drive to make training technology better for professional level trainers, is our company’s daily business, and the accumulation of relevant innovations and inventions has become a recognized source of our corporate value.
