Virtual Reality Parachute Flare Training Simulation

The latest virtual reality work from Fake was introduced at Vene 17 Båt boating exhibition in Helsinki. Together with Virtual Boating School we had a pleasure to create and design a parachute flare training simulation for emergency situation.

Most people never had a chance to shoot a real flare and in distress situation it can be a quite daunting experience with few very important steps to do correctly. With virtual approach the training is available for everyone. The VR corner was a part of The Finnish Lifeboat Institution’s booth at the exhibition floor.

“It was fun to work on something different from our traditional expertise and design a truly functional simulation. The VR definitely has it’s use also outside of entertainment business and we are excited to continue collaboration with Virtual Boating School.” Ville Vaajakallio, Creative Director - FAKE.

Virtual Boating School is a forthcoming educational virtual reality package that gives an easy access to everyone for recreational boating by having a step by step modular approach to learn all necessary navigation and boat handling skills.
