Leads to a Deeper
Learning Experience
The Essentials of VR Simulation
Emotional engagement, deep immersion and a profound sense of presence are the foundations that lead to more positive training outcomes. Presence within the context of Virtual Reality is defined as one’s sense of being in the virtual world. Immersion is a user’s engagement with a VR (Virtual Reality) system that results in being in a flow state.
Immersive Experiences Lead to Increased Presence
Immersion in VR systems depends mainly on sensory immersion, which is defined as “the degree to which the range of the sensory channel is engaged by the virtual simulation.” Available VR training systems rely heavily on their visual, audio and haptic components to create deeper immersion and convey a sense of presence. Every product we engineer incorporates these practices along with our proprietary, ground-breaking protocols.
The Next Evolution in VR Simulation
Conventional VR/AR systems neglect the psychological and behavioral modalities that can be integrated into the technology to bridge many of the sensory and perceptual inconsistencies that can prevent a greater subconscious sense of presence. The conditioned response, human suggestibility, narrative technologies and game design must all be considered when crafting 21st-century VR and AR training systems.
Flowlab XR represents an evolution in maritime simulator technology that realizes and incorporates these understandings into all of our products and services.
About
Flowlab Inc., a Los Angeles-based human performance organization, has worked in the field of human performance and tech development for the US Navy, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab and numerous public sector entities in the areas of behavioral management, performance training, therapeutic solutions and tech innovation. In 2021, Flowlab XR will introduce its first VR (neurocasting) hybrid product to the global maritime industry. This dynamic merging of companies is a vital component of the future of advanced training systems.
The Flow Trainer System
The Flow Trainer System (Flowlab’s initial project) set the stage for Flowlab XR’s unique and exclusive programs and services. The proprietary protocol is a combination of behavioral, neuroscientific and psychological modalities specifically engineered into customized solutions to induce the ‘flow state’ for a given set of tasks or training methodologies.
