Axon has announced the acquisition of VR studio Foundry 45 which it says will bolster its VR training offerings. Axon is the company behind the well-known Taser stun guns which are employed by police and military forces around the world. In modern times the company has also focused on body cams and software for administration and management of public safety organizations.
Axon has a vested interest in making sure the users of its Taser products are well trained. Not just for the safety of users and targets but also for liability and the company’s image. The promise of VR training is not only that it can feel more real but also that it can be cheaper and easier for public safety organizations to deploy, allowing for more training time with a broader range of scenarios and less overhead.
