VR headset sign-in

This video shows how trainees can sign in to the Simulator Training app using a personal QR code, and how trainers and trainees can access and distribute those codes.

  • No trainer or tablet required
  • No Wi-Fi or internet required during training
  • Axon Evidence accounts are supported

FAQ

Why am I only seeing my own QR code when I sign in to VR web app? 

If you only see your personal QR code, you are signed in under a trainee account.

If you are a trainer, you must be added to the vr-trainers group in Axon Evidence in order to distribute QR codes to trainees. For more information on adding users to this group, see Accessing VR systems through Axon Evidence.
