BeBop Sensors said it won the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Award from the U.S. Air Force for BeBop Sensor’s new award-winning Forte Data Glove Enterprise Edition, to be deployed by the U.S. Airforce Maintenance Operations and Training Augmented Reality (MOTAR) Unit for advanced airplane VR training simulations.
The MOTAR Unit, which builds VR and AR solutions for internal U.S. Air Force groups, was tasked with finding technology to enable advanced VR hand interactions for Lockheed C-130 Hercules military aircraft radio training simulations. The BeBop Sensors gloves were selected because of their powerful haptics that virtually “feel” interactions with a 6 millisecond response time, ease of use, all-day battery life, and ultra-comfortable design.
“BeBop’s Forte Data Gloves will let airman concentrate on learning the task at hand, not learning how to use VR controls," said SMSgt Powell Crider, U.S. Airforce MOTAR Unit.
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Air Force’s newly formed innovation arm (AFWERX) are streamlining the SBIR process to speed up the experience, broaden the pool of potential applicants, and decrease bureaucratic overhead.
