  • Patent number: 11162762
    Abstract: An immersive simulation method for coaching and training a crew in the use of an armoured vehicle turret having a control computer, acquisition interfaces for commanding equipment units of the turret, and rendering interfaces for presentation of data to the crew, the control computer, acquisition interfaces, and rendering interfaces being connected to each other by computer bus, includes: connecting the control computer to a simulation computer, to which the control computer communicates a status of the turret; producing, using the simulation computer, a virtual environment, and presenting, using the rendering interfaces, the virtual environment at least in part to the crew. One or more motorised equipment units of the turret are in operation. Commands entered by the crew via the acquisition interfaces are transmitted to the operating motorised equipment units. Movements of the equipment units brought about by the commands are used to produce optical, auditory, and/or acceleration sensations.
