[ Ссылка ] | This news coverage of the VirTra, full immersion judgmental use of force training simulator was first shown on Utah’s ABC 4 News. After the recent shooting at LAX airport that ended in the death of a TSA officer, the news team goes inside this new and potentially life-saving use of force training.
The news report covers an example of one use of force simulation, where two real police officers walk into a school shooting. The reporter narrating, “It’s just a simulator, but it feels real.”
Officer Brad Smith of the Unified Police Department continues, “It’s very real. It’s very real to me. And it’s as close to a real-life scenario as we can get to.”
The VirTra system prepares officers for the worse-case scenario, and uses the real noises they would hear in these real-life events. Consequently raising their blood pressure, how quickly they are breathing, and allows them to feel the fear they will encounter in the real world. Allowing officers to become familiar with this feeling of fear helps them when they are actually in these situations out in the real world.
With 8 speakers, 5 screens, and almost a complete 360 degree experience, the VirTra use of force training simulator makes it as real as it possibly can be in a simulated scenario. Screams, people running, loud noises and gun shots, fully immerse a training officer into a situation, proving to be much more powerful than shooting at a paper target. This state of the art training system costs around $250,000 but is priceless when it comes to how many lives it can potentially save.
