World Aviation Training Summit 2024
Last week we wrapped our first-ever World Aviation Training Summit.
Over four days, more than 70 people from across the aviation ecosystem—government officials, airlines, operators, manufacturers, pilots, and aviation enthusiasts—had the chance to experience our virtual reality H125 flight training simulator. We engaged in dynamic conversations with a diverse group of individuals equally passionate about training innovations. We also received overwhelmingly positive feedback, particularly regarding the realism we’re able to achieve with our VR simulators.

Our scenario-based training features and proprietary human pose tracking system consistently captured attendees' interest. The ability to safely practice autorotations, perform skyscraper landings on any building in Los Angeles, or navigate IMC conditions in the Alps showcased the versatility of our training scenarios to meet the unique needs of pilots and operators and, in turn, make training more efficient. Attendees experienced firsthand the precision of their body movements within the virtual environment, such as their avatar’s hand reaching for a specific button in real-time, accompanied by the immediate corresponding force feedback of the button.
Our CEO, Fabi Riesen, spoke during the “XR Goes Mainstream” session, where he and other industry professionals discussed the powerful applications of extended reality technologies in pilot training. They highlighted the superior quality of virtual reality for pilot training and presented innovative methods to safely and efficiently train the next generation of qualified pilots.
A big thank you and congratulations to the WATS organizers for hosting a fantastic event.
