Northrop Grumman Corporation Virtual Immersive Portable Environment (VIPE)

VIPE Holodeck™ provides a high-fidelity immersive environment that provides a series of mission-centric uses, including simulation and training, mission rehearsal and data visualization. This innovative, affordable design is comprised of low-cost hardware components that make it easy to maintain and upgrade. VIPE Holodeck™ was designed and constructed to be lightweight and portable, allowing for quick use in any environment, simulation center, home station or in-theater. This solution maximizes training time and reduces overall costs by providing the trainer complete system and scenario control, as well as visibility of the trainees inside the VIPE Holodeck™ and a real-time view inside the virtual world. After action review (AAR) capabilities through recording and playback of the complete training session result in more thorough training practices and mistake correction capabilities. Furthermore, VIPE Holodeck™ can be networked to provide multiplayer/multi-us er visualization for state-of-the-art gaming, telepresence, and simulation in addition to being integrated with external systems in support of Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) simulation and training exercises.
