Virtual Reality Training Simulator for Weapons Shooting

This article investigates the application of Virtual Reality (VR) technology in enhancing military training effectiveness. With the geopolitical climate intensifying and military conflicts growing more complex, VR becomes a key tool in modernizing military training methods. Through comprehensive analysis of scientific literature on VR's use in military exercises, this research identifies critical aspects and nuances for developing VR-based training simulators. The aim is to create a VR training application for shooting skills with military weapons, aimed at improving the training efficiency and motivation of Ukrainian military personnel while reducing time and costs. The study includes a literature review on VR technologies for military training, an examination of existing VR training tools worldwide, a comparison of current VR applications for military purposes, and an exploration of VR application development methods. The research culminates in the design, implementation, and real-world testing of a new VR training software, with an in-depth evaluation of its effectiveness. The focus is on skill acquisition in firearm operations through virtual reality glasses.
