Together, RAVE and Varjo have seen the power of immersive technology transform how automotive and manufacturing industries train workers and design and produce goods. On an even larger scale, immersive training and simulation has transformed the defense industry, resulting in saved time, money, and lives.
In response to the increased demand of Varjo’s XR-3 in the defense industry, Varjo has introduced a TAA-line of XR-3s that are produced in Finland, and more recently, the XR-3 Focal Edition, which is also TAA compliant and offers superior visual quality for advanced XR training use cases where seeing small text and illustrations on physical instruments close-up is mission-critical. RAVE and Varjo will be hosting an XR-3 Focal Edition roadshow event in RAVE Computer’s Metro-Detroit RenderBEAST Zone the week of March 6th, focusing on defense, automotive, manufacturing, and health care use cases. Appointments are required. Contact RAVE for additional information.
