Challenges faced in vr space training project
High-Stakes Realism
Trainees must experience true-to-life emergencies like fires, decompression, and system failures.
Complex Interactions
Simulate zero-gravity tasks, maintenance, and navigation with tactile fidelity.
Hardware Diversity
Ensure smooth performance across VR headsets of varying specs.
Data-Driven Training
Capture analytics to track progress, errors, and learning outcomes.
Our Approach
Immersive Environment Design
- Created a digital twin of a space station with NASA-inspired blueprints.
- Every module—control rooms, living quarters, maintenance bays, and hull—modeled in stunning detail.
Interactive Training Modules
- Fire suppression, emergency drills, maintenance operations, and navigation exercises.
- Gamified lessons with adaptive difficulty and real-time guidance.
Advanced Technical Implementation
- Built on Unity 3D and Unreal Engine for realistic graphics and physics.
- Procedural animations and inverse kinematics for precise tool handling in zero-G.
- Compatible with Oculus Quest, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality.
Analytics & Feedback
- Web-based dashboards track task completion, errors, and trainee performance.
- Heatmaps and reports provide instructors actionable insights for targeted coaching.
Optimization & Testing
- Level-of-detail (LOD) optimization and occlusion culling ensure smooth performance.
- Multi-user sessions tested with cloud syncing for global scalability.
