In high-stakes industries like defence, law enforcement, aviation, and emergency response, effectively training professionals comes with an eye-watering price tag. You’re looking at over $US500,000 to train a single Special Forces soldier and around $US150,000 to prepare a Police Officer. Despite these investments, many organisations are still relying on inefficient, outdated VR training tools including handheld controllers .

OptiTrack stages can now stream clean, lifelike hand data directly into Motive 3.0. With pure and natural hand data instantly combined with body data, mocap and animation teams can move quickly, saving time in post-production.

When people talk about “immersive technology,” they usually mean what they can see and hear. And to be fair, we’ve made huge progress there with lighter headsets, sharper displays and advancements in spatial audio.  But ask anyone who’s tried to use their hands in VR and you’ll quickly find out what’s missing. Real interaction doesn’t happen through cameras or buttons. It happens with your hands. 

Camera-based hand tracking is gaining traction as a more natural way to interact with virtual environments. But like all new tech, it’s not perfect.

StretchSense, a pioneer in motion intelligence, is redefining XR training with the launch of the Reality XR Glove—a groundbreaking innovation that delivers natural, seamless interaction in virtual environments.

What’s holding VR training back? It’s not the visuals or the hardware. The real challenge lies in how users interact with the virtual environment. And the culprit? Controllers.

Imagine learning to perform a high-stakes task—like piloting a plane, performing surgery, or handling hazardous materials—in an environment where mistakes don’t have real-world consequences. That’s the promise of Virtual Reality training.

Introducing Hand Engine 3. Say goodbye to paddle hands by using Pro Fidelity gloves for hero characters alongside Pro Studio gloves for background characters. Less tedious keyframing and no more copy and paste.
