  • Publication number: 20230135138
    Abstract: A VR training system includes: training terminals that generates simulation images for simulation training in common VR space and provides the simulation images to trainees individually associated with the training terminals; and a tracking sensor that detects motion of the trainees in real space. Each of the training terminals calculates a position and a posture of a self avatar in VR space based on a detection result of the tracking sensor, acquires position information on a position and a posture of another avatar in the VR space from another training terminal, and generates the another avatar in the VR space based on the acquired position information.

  • Publication number: 20230126008
    Abstract: An aircraft VR training system includes: training terminals that generates simulation images for performing simulation training in common VR space and provides the simulation images to trainees individually associated with the training terminals; and a setting terminal including setting information necessary for generating the simulation images. The setting terminal transmits the setting information to the training terminals. The training terminals set the setting information received from the setting terminal, and transmit setting completion notification of the setting information to the setting terminal. After the setting terminal receives the completion notification from all the training terminals, the setting terminal causes the training terminals to start simulation training.

  • Publication number: 20230126752
    Abstract: A VR training system includes: a training terminal that generates a simulation image for simulation training in VR space and includes an avatar of a trainee linked to action of the trainee in real space and a controller with which the trainee performs an omission action. When an omission action is performed with the controller in a series of actions in the simulation training, the training terminal omits a predetermined action of the avatar and updates the simulation image from a state before the predetermined action to a state after the predetermined action.
