Introduction

Important

Starting April 14, 2026, Axon VR training will require mandatory firmware updates for supported VR headsets and controllers. When launching training after this date, you may be prompted to complete required updates before training can continue. Make sure your devices are connected to Wi-Fi to complete the update process. For more information how to update firmware, see Update firmware for VR Controllers and the FAQ How do I check or update the headset firmware?.

This video explains how to unbox the TASER 7 VR Controller.

 

The TASER 7 VR Controller is a firmware-updatable LED controller used in conjunction with a virtual reality (VR) headset. Manufactured by Axon Enterprise, Inc., the TASER VR Controller is a dedicated training device that replicates the weight and feel of a traditional TASER 7 device.

Using a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol, advanced IR LED Constellation tracking technology provides accurate three-dimensional physiology of the TASER VR Controller for inside-out tracking of objects within a virtual reality environment. It provides continuous TASER VR Controller-to-headset data exchange, letting you interact in a virtual world with the device mimicking the standard functionality of a duty TASER 7 device, such as arming, aiming, and deployment. This creates a true-to-life training experience.

Because it uses the same battery pack as a TASER 7 or duty TASER 7, the TASER VR Controller can apply agency settings from Axon Evidence. Like a duty TASER 7 device, when a battery is docked, agency configurations and operation are downloaded to memory within the battery and read by the TASER VR Controller when powered on.

Health and safety warnings

White TASER 7 VR Controllers are only for use in virtual reality (VR) training environments. They will neither accept nor fire probes like a duty TASER 7.

The most current safety and health warnings are available in a PDF located on our Legal page at https://axon-2.cdn.prismic.io/axon-2/5bac101c-6f81-4c02-b737-b1be5eac6fce_Axon+VR+Warnings.pdf.

The safety and health warnings are to reduce the risk of any personal injury or property damage. Read the manual and that document fully before using a VR headset.
