Mobile Burn Injury Training
Virtual Heroes is helping the Army transform burn injury care. Our BurnCARE 3D training application is designed to run on mobile devices. This means that medics, even ones who don’t usually treat burn patients, can experience immersive training anywhere, including on the road during deployment.
The Virtual Tactical Assault Kit (VTAK) is the latest addition to the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) ecosystem. VTAK enables warfighters to collaborate and perform mission planning and rehearsal in full 3D space. Virtual Heroes is expanding TAK’s capabilities by reimagining its delivery mechanism: Rather than interacting with 2D interfaces, the operator dons a VR headset and experiences a full 3D synthetic terrain environment.
Virtual Heroes will be at the Serious Play Conference, to be held online June 23 - 25, 2021. ARA Vice President and Virtual Heroes Division Manager Randy Brown will be leading the panel Achieving Immersion in Military Maintenance Training. Senior Producer Marcia Clover will be presenting and demonstrating our BurnCARE 3D burn-injury training application. We hope to (virtually) see you there!
