Designed with an international group of Air Force pilots, XTAL 3 fulfills professional simulation community expectations.
MIXED REALITY MODULE The mixed reality module enables pilots to learn proper motor skills during the training sessions and allows them to see their hands and interact with instrumental panels.
WORLD'S WIDEST
FIELD OF VIEW
The unique combination of high fidelity and a market-leading field of view - 180° horizontal and 90° vertical, reduces negative training and provides pilots with the perfect environment to develop situational awareness.

PROPRIETARY VR LENSES Patented non-Fresnel VR lenses were designed by a custom RayTraced optical engine to create a realistic view with undeformed images.
PRECISE EYE-TRACKING
SYSTEMS
The integrated eye-tracking system gathers gaze information for debriefing and behavior analysis visualized via heat maps. Eye-tracking uses unique one-dot calibration for IPD adjustment and foveated rendering.

XTAL Focus Distance; Reading Glasses


Due to the wide FOV of the XTAL headset, the optical system of the headset focuses on standard reading distance. If you are using reading glasses or have any issues with reading text clearly at reading distance, you may experience issues with image clarity and readability in the XTAL headset. In that case, we recommend using dioptric compensation lenses with your XTAL headset.

Please, fill out your diopter values into the Notes field as a part of your order, and we will prepare custom compensation lenses accordingly.
