Enhancing VR Training Platform with Modern Web Solutions

Background

The client is global leader in public safety technology, providing an ecosystem of devices and applications designed to improve safety and efficiency for law enforcement and public safety professionals. With a strong commitment to innovation, they continue to push boundaries by integrating cutting-edge technology into their products and services.

As part of their training initiatives, they developed a suite of virtual reality (VR) training applications to enhance situational preparedness and decision-making skills. While the VR applications generated valuable training reports, the only way to view these reports was through the VR headset. This limited accessibility prompted them to seek a solution that could bring their reporting capabilities to a broader audience.

Challenge

The client first faced the challenge of making their VR training reports accessible outside the headset. Their existing VR team and backend API team were well-versed in their respective domains but lacked dedicated web development resources. They needed a web-based solution that could seamlessly integrate with their existing systems, provide advanced search and filtering capabilities, and offer a user-friendly interface for viewing and analyzing reports.

With limited internal capacity for web development, they sought a trusted partner to bridge this gap. IntelliTect’s expertise in delivering robust web applications made them the ideal collaborator for this project.

Solution

IntelliTect collaborated closely with client to design and develop a web-based solution. Key initiatives included:

Frontend Development:

• Built a React-based web application to display VR training reports.
• Implemented advanced search and filtering capabilities for efficient report management.
• Enabled drill-down views to examine individual drill results in detail.

Integration with Existing Systems:

• Collaborated with client’s backend API team to address API limitations and ensure seamless integration.
• Used their internal component library to maintain consistency with their branding and user experience.

Optimized Development Practices:

• Developed a single-page application to enhance performance and enable caching between pages.
• Addressed scope changes, including backfilling tests to meet an 80% code coverage requirement, ensuring high quality and stability.

Outcome

The partnership between IntelliTect and the client resulted in the successful delivery of a web application that met all project goals within the fixed budget and timeline. The React-based platform significantly enhanced accessibility, allowing users to manage and analyze VR training reports without a headset. By overcoming technical challenges and adapting to changing requirements, IntelliTect ensured a smooth development process and a stable, user-friendly product.

This project positioned the client to expand the impact of their VR training programs by reaching a broader audience, improving operational efficiency, and supporting future innovation.
