fats®VR Virtual Reality Training System

Bringing the power of proven experience, immersive scenarios, and realistic weapons to a 360° virtual training environment.

InVeris Training Solutions’ fats®VR is an advanced training solution that uses virtual reality (VR) for critical, real-world preparation for de-escalation of force situations.

fats®VR provides law enforcement agencies, private security firms, and military security forces cutting-edge VR technology to rapidly improve trainees’ communication skills, decision-making ability, adherence to policies and procedures, and situational awareness.

Utilizing top-of-the-line VR headsets with impressive 360-degree capabilities and weapons tracking, officers train in fully immersive environments that put them in the action. The ability to perform any scenario and interact with a variety of environments and characters is enhanced with fats®VR. Additionally, the system is available 24/7 to give trainees as many training repetitions as they need, and then more.

Depending on the trainee’s actions, the instructor can dynamically escalate or de-escalate the scenario, and review their decision-making skills from any angle during after action review.

These dynamic training environments and endless branching options increase the trainee’s psychological immersion and focus when dealing with the situation at hand. This leads to significantly stronger knowledge retention, so that officers can respond.

Fully adjustable environments allow instructors to create highly realistic and infinitely dynamic training scenarios.
