Christopher Chambers, chief executive officer of Serious Simulations, LLC, said the SciTech Central segment about his company highlights its groundbreaking technologies that are centered around human motion based, wireless, and realistic experiences for training or entertainment.
The segment that aired and will continue to be aired on PBS SciTech Central channels across the country, features Chambers and key members of his team demonstrating how they’ve taken virtual reality (VR) training to the next level by making simulators totally wireless and as realistic as possible, bringing in real weapons and devices, finely tracking human body movements, and processing data in near-real time to display as an avatar in a virtual world scenario.
The SciTech Central program highlighted how some of the company’s five patented systems enable a person’s participation as an avatar in a virtual environment, and to fully interact with real equipment and avatars of other people. The goal is full immersion and belief that the individual is actually in the virtual experience. “In VR training situations, this immersion can generate positive stress and obtain higher levels of concentration and better training outcomes,” Chambers explained.
As a rising company in the global simulation business, Serious Simulations is pioneering technology in the emerging area of individual and small group VR based simulation. The company has developed simulators for people doing dangerous jobs including soldiers, law enforcement officers and first responders, and extends similar technology to entertainment and professional sports training.
The program was a result of research by the producer of PBS’s SciTech Central show, who was searching for companies with high tech offerings in the Florida area as features on the program. The weekly show explores the frontiers of science and reports on cutting edge technologies. When Serious Simulations came up during the search and revealed what they had accomplished in wireless VR, Chambers, the founder and a former Army officer, was contacted to arrange the taping. In the program, PBS also highlighted the role of Veteran Owned Small Businesses in the Orlando area.
