This app was created to give users a tangible experience in how virtual and augmented reality is both accessible and ideal for: education, maintenance, real-time training and, in all honesty, just plain fun.
AEgis Technologies Group is a modeling and simulation company based in Huntsville, Alabama with more than 25 years of experience in high fidelity geospatial content, gaming applications and improved moving target simulators.
Visual-Eyes: Training Garage/AR Engagement is a virtual and augmented reality experience all in one.
Enter the virtual training garage where you can navigate 360 degrees around three military vehicles: the F-15E, M3A3, and AH-64.
The augmented experience kicks it up a notch, allowing you to defend your position by firing at either a T-72 or a UAV.
While circling the vehicles, you will actively engage with each to identify specific features, think interactive studying: firing up an engine and spinning rotors.
The T-72 tank’s turret will spin 360 degrees, tracking your location and the UAV’s evasive maneuvers make it that much trickier.
AEgis’ previous app, Combat ID, won the 2012 People’s Choice award at I/ITSEC and initiated our now rapidly expanding gaming division.
