Mixed-reality cockpit view rendered by the Polaris visual system

Visual System

Polaris

The BLACKSTAR visual system. A Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition headset and an RTX 5090 GPU, with an optional instructor iPad, in one package that connects to any simulator.

What's Included

One System, Three Parts

Every Polaris system pairs a professional headset with the graphics power to drive it. Add the instructor iPad to run training from outside the cockpit.

  • Included

    Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition

    Near human-eye resolution with gaze-driven autofocus, so instruments, charts, and the outside world stay sharp wherever the pilot looks.

  • Included

    RTX 5090 GPU

    A flagship graphics card tuned to drive the XR-4 at full resolution and refresh rate for smooth, stable visuals through every phase of flight.

  • Optional

    Instructor iPad

    Control the session from anywhere in the room. Set weather, trigger failures, reposition the aircraft, and follow the flight on a live map.

Focus Where You Look

The Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition tracks the pilot's gaze and adjusts focus in real time. Small gauges, approach plates, and distant runways all stay crisp, without the blur common in other headsets.

Paired with the RTX 5090, Polaris holds full resolution and a steady frame rate, so the view stays smooth through turbulence, low passes, and busy terminal areas.

Teach From Anywhere

The instructor iPad puts the whole session in hand. Change weather, inject failures, reposition the aircraft, and follow the student on a live map, all without interrupting the flight.
