Virtual Environment Computational Training Resource (VECTR) V.2(KSC-14415)

VECTR2 (Virtual Environment Computational Training Resource) is an overhaul of the original VECTR software. VECTR2 is a multi-user virtual reality platform, built with commercial off-the-shelf hardware, designed to augment the way engineers work at NASA. VECTR2 utilizes existing virtual reality hardware and real-time game engine software to create digital environments where engineers and technicians can practice working with predefined systems and procedures for current and future operations. All aspects of the VECTR2 virtual environment can be changed and updated within the software by a developer, even if the hardware hasn't yet been built in the real world. VECTR2 gives engineers a suite of tools to use such as measurement, annotation and model manipulation tools to interact within the customizable shared Virtual Reality Spaces. These multi-user environments can be saved and later re-visited as well. Integration with RMIT (Rapid Model Import Tool) allows users to import almost any 3d model file type into their virtual environments as well.
