The award-winning VROOM Virtual Reality Training Toolkit lets you develop immersive training programs for your product. It features an easy to use icon-based visual flow programming toolkit and uses your existing CAD data. Once arranged, the training program can be run on any computer processor, from a basic 2D rendering system to a full body-tracked immersive virtual reality system.
Using cutting-edge Virtual Reality technology, VROOM allows you to approach your CAD data on a human scale and to a degree of detail previously unimaginable. You can even start the training process before the product is physically available, cutting down critical time-to-market. VROOM provides you with a slew of unique advantages that will surely optimize your training process.
“Trained engineers are hugely enthusiastic, our average appreciations has been 8.3 out of 10”
Overview
LEVERAGE THE VALUE OF YOUR CAD ASSETS
- Start training before your product is produced or available.

HOW IT WORKS
- Export your 3D models to the VROOM Authoring tool
- Create object behaviors from pre-configured object state and activity templates
- Easily define procedures such as removing screws from an engine part
- Copy and re-use templates you have already configured
- Build training sequences simply by visually connecting activities with drag-and-drop arrows
- Select from built-in physical tools such as screw drivers, torque wrenches and allen keys, and adjust their values
- Add text to speech narration, feedback, animations and/or multi-media
- Skip steps or instantly jump to any training step
- Animate training steps, or the entire training
- Built-in user-aids and verification options
- Immediately run a fully immersive 3D training on any turnkey VR system
DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS
The full power of the underlying Vizard software platform and its unmatched device connectivity comes into play, when you deploy your training in virtually any hardware configuration, be it on a 2D screen with a game controller, or immersing multiple networked users with 3D headsets and high-end hand interaction wands, or rendering on a multi-wall 3D projection system.
OCULUS 3D HEADSET WIDE-AREA WALKING
Are you ready for the 3D headset revolution kicked off by Oculus, now Facebook? Literally walk around your own products in full scale and experience a stunning sense of immersion. Simply put on a 3D headset and you’re free to walk and explore naturally. Interact with the virtual world using a 3D wand or by wearing a data glove.
Platforms
One of the main strengths of VROOM is its hardware-independency. No matter what plaform you have, VROOM will work with it. This means you only have to design your training once. Once created it can run on 2D monitors, 3D headsets, Powerwalls, and many more devices.
There also is a Windows mode, which runs on normal computers and laptops. The trainees get the same training content no matter what hardware used and can even let the training play itself out automatically.
You’re fully in control of which type of experience you offer your trainees, matching changing requirements or training approaches.
SOME EXAMPLES
Desktops and laptops
VROOM can run on Windows laptops and computers without any extra hardware.
Low-cost VR Hardware
Attach one of the many (game) virtual reality devices to your computer for an instant and low-cost training experience.
High-end Immersive virtual reality hardware
VROOM runs on Powerwalls, Caves and HMD’s and connects to all sorts of input devices.
