DPVR Announces VR Drone Pilot Training Simulation Solution
The product targets the two costs that keep beginner drone programs anchored to real aircraft: crashes and weather, by moving repeat practice into a headset before anyone flies.

DPVR has announced a VR-based drone pilot training simulation solution for educational institutions and drone training providers. The system runs on the enterprise PC-connected DPVR E4C headset, a DPVR-developed training and evaluation system, a commercial drone controller, and a PC. It covers hovering, figure-eight flight, mock examinations, forest fire response, and emergency rescue, and records training time, attempts, and evaluation results.
The kit pairs a commercial drone controller with a PC-connected DPVR E4C headset, so trainees practice hovering, figure-eight flight, and specialised scenarios in first-person view before touching a real aircraft. DPVR says the controller reproduces the stick resistance of actual drones.
Instructors get an automatic evaluation layer: training time, number of attempts, weak operations, and achievement status per exercise are recorded, searchable, and stored. DPVR lists aircraft damage, repair costs, high winds, rain, snow, and airspace limits as the problems the simulation is meant to absorb.
