US Army uses VR to gain feedback on hypersonic weapon prototype

US Army soldiers from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, are using a mix of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality and mixed reality technologies to help the hypersonic weapon prototype development.

This innovative VR technology is providing the soldiers with a rare look at the components of the new prototype Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW).

The prototype has been perceived as an interactive, true-to-scale, three-dimensional model. This use of mixed reality technologies allows soldiers to influence the design of the system by providing feedback on improving it.
