Simulator manufacturer and training provider CAE is targeting virtual and mixed reality (VR and MR) technology for new training platforms, including its latest Sprint VR Trainer. The device includes physical stick, throttle, and rudder controls, CAE’s Medallion image generator, a VR headset, and haptic feedback for actuation of instrument panel equipment.

Sprint stands for Self-Paced, Real-time Insights for Next-generation Training, and it is designed to allow students to practice flying using a virtual coach and CAE’s Rise performance grading and assessment tools. Students can use the Sprint Trainer “to practice training tasks, procedures, and maneuvers in an affordable, high-fidelity, immersive environment to master lessons at their own pace,” according to CAE.
