(December 2020)  Serious Simulations was notified that the Italian Army has officially accepted a custom version of Serious Simulations’ ready2train™ virtual reality Infantry training system as a certified training system for the Italian Army.  Serious Simulations’ solution is the chosen technology for all of the hardware sets and is running custom game software written by Bohemia Interactive Simulations and Interconsulting DbA (Rome, Italy).  The program is managed by Leonardo DbA (Rome, Italy).

Various quantities of two types of ready2train™ systems were delivered by Serious Simulations for the Italian Army:

– a completely untethered version with a custom made wireless helmet mounted HMD and wireless instrumented weapon

– a wired version of the system with a robust but unobtrusive overhead trolley system for carrying wired data without introducing   tripping hazards to the trainee

The industry unique middleware for stimulating the animations of VBS4 avatars with realtime tracking data was written and provided by Serious Simulations in a plugin brand-named Serious ArtIKulations™.

Serious Simulations, in partnership with Interconsulting, is looking forward to increased sales of its unique hardware, and the provision of technology upgrades to the Italian Army for virtual reality Infantry training in 2021 and beyond.
