This new contract will fund the expansion of Specular Theory's Experiential Air Refueling Lightweight Simulator (EARL™), a lightweight VR sim that runs on commercial-grade COTS and provides high fidelity and accurate training to teach Airmen how to do Air to Air Refueling (AAR), allowing them to learn and practice AAR anytime, anywhere. The EARL™ AI instructor tracks how a student is performing then guides the student on what to do next, assessing their level of proficiency at Air Refueling. Built with AI Instruction, Adaptive Learning, Multiplayer functionality, Force Feedback controls and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) plug in, EARL punches above its weight class for delivering a lightweight sim that's highly interactive, adaptable, and more realistic than any other VR simulator. Future expansion includes the ability to load any aircraft and create any type of training scenario.
"Flight training has typically been managed by the aircraft manufacturer. But in reality, you wouldn't learn to play golf from a golf club manufacturer. Using the latest in AI-driven immersive technologies, combined with an understanding of the way individuals learn, we are disrupting aircraft training at every level in every crew position. ...says Specular Theory Co-founder Ryan Pulliam.
