There is one 20 seat mobile simulators designed on 65 foot tractor trailers and one 8 seat simulator is constructed on top of a 45 foot long tractor trailer making it easily accessible to urban areas and small venues.
Both of the mobile simulators travel the 48 contiguous United States and are featured at air shows, state fairs, shopping malls, high schools, NASCAR events and Navy Fleet Weeks. The simulators are managed and operated by Pulseworks, the leading supplier of simulation attractions for entertainment, education and marketing exhibits worldwide.

The Navy Experience Simulator gives participants a look at some of the day-to-day naval operations using actual footage via Immersa-Domes.
The simulator travels the 48 contiguous states and is showcased at state fairs, festivals and other large public events. The purpose of the Experience is to attract the attention of potential recruits and give the general public a chance to “feel” what it is like in the Navy.
The Immersa-Domes are designed to feel like aircraft carrier ready room chairs. A visual display lowers over participant’s heads to block out other senses and a short movie begins. Participants are immersed in the 180-degree view of the movie which includes the sound and even smell of a carrier flight deck and the ocean air.
The current films playing on the Experience Simulator displays all forms of the Navy (Air, Surface, Sub-Surface) in an upbeat, adrenalin inspiring presentation.
The purpose of this video is to inspire onsite prospects to engage with recruiters and demystify the Navy image that the guest may have had prior to the experience. |
