Military Virtual Reality Technology to Become Corporate Team Training Tool

Two Warwick Business School MBA graduates have formed a company, Cajes, that aims to take corporate staff training and team development beyond outward bound courses and paint ball sessions. They have partnered up with a US company that makes virtual reality simulators for the US military, and aim to retool that technology to produce a unique corporate team building experience.
The US company Helitrainer Inc produces special pods to train military helicopter pilots. The pods immerse the pilots in a virtual reality helicopter environment and can also be linked together so that they can interact in simulated land or air battles and missions.
The two WBS graduates James Clare and John Senior, have formed CAJES Business Solutions through a University of Warwick Enterprise Fellowship, and Mustard funding from Business Link, to develop the idea with Helitrainer Inc.
