A New Era in Simulation Training
3WAVES stimulates the to add a physiological sensation of full body motion to stationary VR/AR/XR simulations.
3WAVES creates a more immersive training simulation, addressing cybersickness and enabling spatial disorientation training for flight, maritime, and crew operations.
Bridging the Simulation Training Gap
Traditional simulation training faces fundamental limitations that reduce effectiveness and increase costs.
- Trainees experience cybersickness that cuts sessions short.
- Critical skills like spatial disorientation remain undertrained due to safety concerns.
- Expensive motion platforms put advanced training out of reach for many organizations.
3WAVES is a flagship technology spinout from Luna Labs, a Virginia-based product development company dedicated to solving critical challenges in defense, industrial, and biotech industries.
We understand that effective training saves lives and improves performance – whether in aviation, maritime operations, or crew coordination scenarios.
Motivated by this critical need, we have committed dedicated technical expertise and resources to create these innovative, unified solutions.
3WAVES Adaptive and Modular Virtual Motion System
Revolutionizing Training Through Smart Motion Technology
Motion
Alignment
Traditional simulators cause fatigue and nausea, forcing reduced training time when trainees need it most. This limits the quality and quantity of essential practice sessions.
3WAVES precisely synchronizes what trainees see with what they feel (roll, pitch, yaw), addressing the mismatch that causes cybersickness. Result: longer, more effective training sessions without fatigue or burnout.
True-to-Life Immersion
3WAVES delivers authentic full-body motion sensations for flight, maritime, and crew training scenarios. Trainees experience realistic forces and movement of roll, pitch, and yaw with flexibility to integrate with stationary training systems or motion platforms
Spatial Disorientation Training
This dangerous phenomenon in aviation and maritime operations is nearly impossible to safely replicate in conventional simulators, leaving this critical skill undertrained.
The 3WAVES system safely replicates dangerous spatial disorientation scenarios (eg. Leans). Trainees learn to recognize warning signs, execute recovery procedures, and maintain control in conditions that would be too risky to practice in real operations.
Small and Cost Effective
3WAVES is significantly more cost-effective than traditional motion simulators while being faster and simpler to install. Get advanced training capabilities without the infrastructure overhead of legacy systems.
Universal Adaptability
Modular hardware and software components configure for any training scenario or AR/VR/MR application. One system scales from basic operational training to complex multi-crew simulations.
The Scientific Behind 3WAVES Technology
Understanding the Human Balance System
The vestibular system is the body’s sophisticated balance control center, managing coordination and spatial awareness through three critical inputs: what you see, signals from your inner ear, and physical sensations from your body.
This system works flawlessly in normal conditions, but becomes unreliable when there’s a mismatch such as seeing motion in a simulator without feeling it. That’s when cybersickness strikes.
The VR/MR Challenge
Virtual and mixed reality opened incredible training possibilities at accessible costs, but with one major limitation: they only engage your visual system. This creates “oculo-vestibular decoupling”—your eyes see movement your body doesn’t feel, triggering nausea, fatigue, and shortened training sessions.
3WAVES Solution: Sensory Integration
Our technology solves this fundamental mismatch by providing the missing vestibular input, creating harmony between what trainees see and feel. The result is extended, comfortable, and realistic training that actually improves performance across flight, maritime, and crew simulation scenarios.
