US Patent 11508253 Systems and methods for networked virtual reality training

Disclosed herein are embodiments for managing a virtual reality (VR) training exercise via a management server. The management server outputs a graphical dashboard including one or more skill nodes, and selects one or more software agents associated with the skill nodes. The management server provides the software agents to at least one host computing system communicatively coupled to a near-to-eye display device. The near-to-eye display device is configured to display a virtual three dimensional (3D) training environment including a plurality of interactive 3D virtual objects. The software agents are configured to collect VR observables data while the trainee performs actions within the virtual 3D training environment. Based on the VR observables data collected, the management server determines that one or more skills have been demonstrated during the training exercise, and updates the one or more skill nodes to graphically indicate the one or more skills demonstrated by the trainee.
