Virtual Reality (VR): You fully immerse yourself in a digital world that can be experienced with a VR headset. The real environment is no longer visible. Augmented Reality (AR): Digital content is overlaid onto the real world, for example, through a smartphone or AR glasses. An example is placing virtual furniture in your own living space. Mixed Reality (MR): MR combines real and digital objects in a way that they can interact. For instance, a virtual object can hide behind a real one or be placed on a tabletop. Extended Reality (XR): An umbrella term for all immersive technologies, including VR, AR, and MR. It is often used to describe the full range of these digital experiences.

No, for many modern VR applications, you no longer need a PC. Mobile VR headsets like the PICO 4 offer a powerful, wireless solution that operates entirely without an external computer. They are lightweight, easy to set up, and ideal for companies looking for flexible and cost-efficient VR solutions. Mobile VR headsets are particularly preferred in the industrial sector, as they do not require fixed infrastructure and can be used directly on-site – whether in production, training rooms, or at trade shows. The VR KRANTRAINER® also uses the PICO 4, allowing training to take place anytime and anywhere without complex technology.

There are several mobile VR headsets that do not require a PC and are suitable for various applications: PICO 4 / PICO 4 Enterprise Ultra – Powerful standalone headsets with high resolution and lightweight design. The Enterprise version also offers advanced tracking and business features. Meta Quest 3 – A versatile mobile VR headset with a large app ecosystem, used for gaming, training, and business applications. HTC Vive Focus 3 or XR Elite – A robust business VR headset with precise tracking and high-quality components, specially designed for professional applications. Especially the PICO 4 Enterprise Ultra impresses in the business sector with its easy management, light weight, and high image quality – ideal for training and simulations like the VR KRANTRAINER®.

Yes, people who wear glasses can easily use VR headsets. Most models, including the PICO 4, Meta Quest 3, and HTC Vive Focus, offer enough space for standard eyewear. Additionally, there are often distance frames or adjustment options to improve comfort.

Yes, older adults can easily use VR, as long as there are no health restrictions such as severe balance issues or vision impairments. Modern VR headsets like the PICO 4 are lightweight, easy to use, and require no complicated setup.

Especially for training or educational purposes, VR offers significant advantages, as content is delivered interactively and in a hands-on manner. It is important to allow for a gradual adaptation, particularly for individuals without prior VR experience.

Motion sickness is not an issue with the VR KRANTRAINER®, as users do not move independently but remain stationary at a fixed position. Unlike VR simulations for vehicles like forklifts, where the user moves in the virtual world while the body remains still, crane training keeps the perspective constant. In addition, several technical factors contribute to a comfortable and natural VR experience: High refresh rate and low latency: The PICO 4 ensures smooth movements, reducing discomfort. Stable camera movement: The training simulates natural crane movements without abrupt perspective changes. Realistic control: The use of proprietary Bluetooth hardware control allows the movement in VR to be precisely aligned with the real controls, providing a natural feel. As a result, the training is comfortable and safe – even for individuals without prior VR experience.

The battery of the VR KRANTRAINER®, based on the PICO 4 Ultra with 2 additional batteries (already included in your VR hardware set), lasts approximately 2.5 to 3 hours depending on usage. For longer training sessions, several practical solutions are available: Quick charging – Take advantage of your training breaks. The headset is fully ready for use again in about 1 hour. Additional snap-on batteries – With rear battery packs like BOBOVR, the runtime can be easily extended. These can be conveniently clicked onto the headset and also offer better weight distribution. Usage with a power bank – Alternatively, the headset can be charged during operation using a lightweight external power pack. Interchangeable VR headsets – For intensive training days, multiple devices can be used alternately. This ensures that the VR KRANTRAINER® remains ready for use all day without interrupting training sessions.

There are several ways to wirelessly transmit the image from the VR KRANTRAINER®: WiFi streaming to laptop or PC The image is wirelessly transmitted via WiFi to a laptop or computer. No internet connection is required, as your VR hardware set includes its own router to establish the connection. The display is shown directly in the web browser, without needing to install additional software. Transmission to Smart TVs Compatible Smart TVs can receive and display the VR image. Ideal for training sessions or presentations in front of multiple people. Miracast streaming The PICO 4 supports Miracast to wirelessly transmit the image to external displays. A compatible Miracast receiver is already included in your VR hardware set, so no additional hardware is needed.
