$75,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jul 13, 2020 - Feb 26, 2021
Description:
We create learning modules for immersive training in VR as well as a platform to distribute the lessons to trainees with interfaces for trainers and administrators. Natural-looking high-quality digital human avatars are critical to effective training in VR for both branching scenario creation as well as remote collaboration and teaching. The XR Content Authoring suite will allow us to significantly speed up content development time by a factor of 10x. The Multi-User Remote Avatar System will be a key component of that system to enable natural digital representation of human trainees, and trainers in a virtual environment. The avatar system will also be used in content creation for pre-recorded human acting in training scenario creation.
