A New Level of Training Realism

Increase immersion across all environments, ease the transition to XR and VR systems, and extend simulation training time with 3WAVES technology.

Why 3WAVES

Increase adoption, improve training, integrate anywhere.

Sim Sickness Mitigation

Sim Sickness Mitigation

Sim sickness is one of the biggest barriers to XR training adoption. 3WAVES aligns what the body feels with what the eyes see, removing sensory conflict and taking the risk out of a move to virtual and mixed reality.

Training Realism

Training Realism

Vestibular cueing matched to simulator motion increases immersion and virtual flight realism. Trainees react as they would in the aircraft, stay comfortable in the headset longer, and can train against spatial disorientation in ways conventional sims can't reproduce.

Flexible Deployment

Flexible Deployment

System agnostic, 3WAVES works with any simulator and any headset, layering onto systems already in service. It delivers motion cueing at a fraction of the cost and footprint of full motion systems.

Bridging the Simulation Gap

Without 3WAVES

High-fidelity visuals.
Zero physical feedback.

✕ Limited immersion in small footprint sims
✕ Visual-vestibular disconnect
✕ Limited skill transfer to real aircraft
✕ Motion sickness from sensory mismatch

3WAVES wearable hardware

The Wearable Hardware

The hardware mounts to any existing VR headset and delivers the vestibular cue through lightweight, single-use electrodes worn on the skin: the physical bridge between the software and the trainee.
