Infinadeck Experience Platform

Wednesday, November 24th, 2021

I first saw Infinadeck at Warrior West over the summer where I only hit a few minutes to discuss the possibilities. Fortunately, it was also at Warrior East and I was even more impressed. Having some limited experience with Virtual Reality training systems, one of the limitations is that you eventually run out of space and into a wall or other obstacle. But Infinadeck alleviates this problem via their omnidirectional treadmill which provides an infinite walking surface. The Infinadeck Experience Platform is a 360-degree floor that allows for true and natural movement in VR without the introduction of VR motion sickness. Users can walk, jog or run as they do on solid ground for as long as they need to train.

Unlike other systems which offer “infinity” training, there are no harnesses, shoes or other contraptions with Infinadeck. Instead, an active wireless control system reacts to movements.

Multiple systems can be networked for collective training.

Units and agencies can purchase the Infinadeck Experience Platform from ADS Inc.

AUSA 21 – T-Worx Intelligent Rail

Thursday, October 14th, 2021

You may have heard of a Picatinny Smart Rail or Powered Rail which is the NATO STANAG 4740/AEP-90.

The T-Worx Intelligent Rail offers centralized weapon enabler power and control. The intelligent rail is Mil Std 1913 compatible but features an embedded, ruggedized printed circuit board (PCB). The battery is located in the butstock and connects to the rail via jumpers which follow contours of the lower receiver. Alternatives include a pistol grip battery or a mount directly to the rail.

Technically, it’s a power AND data rail but most users have concentrated on the ability to centrally power their enablers. The new Gateway Node seen in this photo, attached to the 3 o’clock rail position allows all of the enablers attached to the rail to communicate with other item’s in the Soldier’s network like an End User Device. It is compatible with the U.S. Army’s Intra-Soldier Wireless (ISW) protocol.
