"100% On-Time and On-Budget for over 15 Years"

 
  VR Military produces state-of-the-art, photography-based virtual reality systems, primarily for use by the military, and the defense and security industries. Our newest systems are fully compatible with the latest mobile technologies.

Our primary expertise is in the capture of 360° views of equipment and places, including the use of turntables and panoramic cameras. We are highly skilled in military and security video production for desktop, laptop and mobile devices.

We use the latest digital photography to capture and deliver superb quality, real-life imagery. These techniques result in far better fidelity and accuracy than 3D CGI techniques can provide. Capture and production times are very low compared to CGI as well, providing far more cost-effective solutions, in far less time.

Our use of web-browser delivery and pure HTML5 means that our systems may be viewed on a very wide range of modern computers and mobile devices, without needing troublesome browser plug-ins such as Flash or Java.
