The Challenge
VRpilot was looking for a VR headset that would offer an optimal and comfortable user experience for potential clients and airline pilots. They were particularly interested in the Pico Neo 3 Pro, but when the Pico 4 Enterprise was released, they needed to evaluate which headset would better suit their needs. Additionally, VRpilot required a reliable supplier for their European customers, capable of providing hardware, branding, MDM-system installation, and overall headset preparation.
The Solution
VRpilot reached out to VR Expert and chose the Pico 4 Enterprise VR Headset due to its two main advantages over the Neo 3 Pro: pancake lenses and a lighter, more compact form factor. These features made the Pico 4 more comfortable for users during training sessions.
VR Expert facilitated the hardware procurement process, allowing VRpilot to easily purchase the Pico 4 headsets. Additionally, VR Expert provided branding stickers, MDM-system installation, and headset preparation for the end customers.
The Pico 4 Enterprise is used in VRpilot’s demonstration kits, enabling potential clients to test out the software and experience its capabilities firsthand. Currently, two airlines have implemented the Pico 4 as part of their pilot training programs, further validating its value in the industry.
With VRflow installed on the Pico 4 headsets, pilots can train in a virtual cockpit either in single-player mode or in a multi-crew environment. This approach allows pilots to practice procedures and familiarize themselves with the cockpit before entering a full-motion flight simulator, maximizing the value of each training session.
In conclusion, VR Expert’s collaboration with VRpilot has enabled the latter to provide a comfortable, efficient, and effective VR training solution using the Pico 4 Enterprise headset. This partnership has not only enhanced the training experience for pilots but has also streamlined the procurement process for VRpilot’s European customers.
