ForgeFX Simulations at Vision VR/AR Summit 2017

We're going Hollywood! ForgeFX Training Simulations is excited to be exhibiting at the Vision VR/AR Summit 2017, May 1 -2, in Hollywood California, sponsored by Unity Technologies. ForgeFX will be one of nearly 20 companies participating in the Vision VR/AR Summit Showcase, hosted in the summit's premiere demo space, the showcase features innovators pioneering the best in virtual, augmented, and mixed realities from all around the world.

Come try the VR Equipment Training Simulator, which we developed for JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation company and a leading global manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telehandlers. The JLG VR Equipment Training Simulator combines stereoscopic real-time 3D, head, hand and positional tracking, multi-player support, and real-world control integration to deliver an extremely highly-interactive and immersive training simulator. VR-based training simulators prepare operators for real-world operations, with far greater impact than traditional flat-screen simulators ever could.

ForgeFX Simulations at ConExpo-ConAgg 2017

Thanks to everyone who visited ForgeFX Simulations at ConExpo - Con/Agg 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada last month. ConExpo is the largest trade show in the United States, and this year's show spanned a record 2.8 million-plus net square feet of exhibits, with a record 2,800+ exhibitors.

ForgeFX was proud to present our virtual reality (VR) industrial training simulators to as many of the 125,000+ attendees as possible. VR-based training simulators immerse users in virtual environments, and with virtual equipment, in ways traditional screen-based simulators cannot. The combination of stereoscopic 3D, positional tracking, head-tracking, hand tracking, and real-world controls delivers highly interactive and impactful simulators that prepare operators for real-world operation. The aerial boom lift simulator that we developed for JLG was a real crowd pleaser, located at the ForgeFX booth, the JLG booth and the Tech Experience pavilion.

In addition to demonstrating the aerial boom lift at our booth, JLG Industries had 2 instances of the simulator running at their booth. We networked these 2 simulation stations together and developed a fully interactive multi-user environment so that attendees could compete against each other in real-time for the best score, or collaborate to accomplish tasks together.

JLG's virtual reality training simulator takes place on an actual boom platform complete with the controls that are used to operate the real-world equipment. Watch the first of JLG's daily recaps for a peek at their live demos, interactive exhibits and equipment advancements that will redefine the future of access.

Tech Experience

From solar-powered roadways, to the first-ever 3D printed excavator, to virtual reality training simulators, the Tech Experience at ConExpo 2017 was a 75,000 square foot immersive, future-forward showcase that allowed attendees to see what’s possible tomorrow, today.
