In episode 73 of The Virtual Reality Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into a classified-looking application: how the US Navy is using VR to train nuclear submarine crews. They unpack the specific challenges of submarine readiness—long deployment cycles, limited at-sea training time, and the high stakes of reactor operations. Lucas explains how the Navy's VR program, built with a company called VRAI, allows crews to practice reactor control scenarios, emergency drills, and navigation in a fully immersive digital twin of a Virginia-class sub. Luna brings in details about the cost savings and the surprising finding that VR-trained teams perform at parity with those who train on actual submarines. They also touch on how this approach is being adopted by the UK Royal Navy. The episode closes with a reflection on whether VR's greatest strength is making impossible training possible. #VirtualReality #VRTraining #USNavy #NuclearSubmarine #DefenseTech #VRAI #ImmersiveTech #MilitarySimulation #SubmarineCrewTraining #VirginiaClass #RoyalNavy #ReactorSafety #DigitalTwin #TrainingSimulation #VRDefense #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
