InVeris Training Solutions’ fats®VR is an advanced training solution that uses virtual reality (VR) for critical, real-world preparation for de-escalation of force situations.
fats®VR provides law enforcement agencies, private security firms, and military security forces cutting-edge VR technology to rapidly improve trainees’ communication skills, decision-making ability, adherence to policies and procedures, and situational awareness.
Utilizing top-of-the-line VR headsets with impressive 360-degree capabilities and weapons tracking, officers train in fully immersive environments that put them in the action. The ability to perform any scenario and interact with a variety of environments and characters is enhanced with fats®VR. Additionally, the system is available 24/7 to give trainees as many training repetitions as they need, and then more.
Depending on the trainee’s actions, the instructor can dynamically escalate or de-escalate the scenario, and review their decision-making skills from any angle during after action review.
These dynamic training environments and endless branching options increase the trainee’s psychological immersion and focus when dealing with the situation at hand. This leads to significantly stronger knowledge retention, so that officers can respond.
Fully adjustable environments allow instructors to create highly realistic and infinitely dynamic training scenarios.
*Optional accessories, sold separately.
fats®VR is highly interactable and allows trainees use their hands for actions from opening doors to handcuffing suspects.
fats®VR constantly releases new environments to adapt to evolving needs. Instructors can easily build customized scenarios using any environment to train based on their policies and procedures. These scenarios can then be conveniently saved to the library for future use. The following are the examples of environments that will be available.
fats®VR includes robust features, environments, and scenarios catered to military police and security forces within the U.S. Armed Forces. The software supports a variety of military uniforms and allows instructors to set the ranks of trainees and other avatars.
fats®VR is highly portable and flexible, so soldiers train anywhere indoors without disrupting the mission or installation.
fats®VR multi-user capability enriches the training experience by adding an extra layer of teamwork and communication.
In addition to the breadth of training environments already available for general law enforcement, fats®VR supports a number of specialized military environments, which are often able to be customized to look exactly like a real installation upon request (customization sold separately).
A base housing unit.
A base commissary with multiple sections and checkout lanes.
A conference room on a Marine Corps base.
Using these environments, instructors can quickly create and save a variety of scenario types, including (but not limited to):
A hangar with custom-modeled aircraft and flight suits.
A custom-modeled Oshkosh M-ATV usable that can be dragged and dropped onto an environment as a prop.
fats®VR specialized Gate Runner Scenario takes trainees through the entire security gate procedure, from requesting identification to pushing the emergency stop button to raise the vehicle barrier in a timely manner.
Instructors can dynamically customize the driver’s actions in real time, including having them drive straight through the gate without stopping. Trainees are taught to de-escalate tense situations, identify weapons and drugs present in the vehicle, respond appropriately to identification scan results (or the lack of identification), and quickly push the emergency stop button when necessary.
A base gate modeled exactly after a real gate at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
A base gate modeled exactly after a real gate at Air Force Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
A base gate modeled exactly after a real gate at Robins Air Force Base.
Just like fats®VR’s other specialized military scenarios, the Gate Runner Scenario comes with professionally-recorded voice lines that reflect a realistic conversation that could happen during a real gate procedure.
