SAAB Assigns Bublar Group to Further Develop the Carl-Gustaf Experience in Virtual Reality

Bublar Group (BUBL MTF), announces that its subsidiary Vobling AB, has been assigned to further develop the Carl-Gustaf VR Experience functionality and experience on SAAB’s behalf for the HTC Vive Pro and the VARJO headsets. Development starts immediately with expected delivery in Q1 2019.

The Carl-Gustaf VR Experience (CGE) was originally created in collaboration with the Swedish defense giant SAAB, in 2017. The application allows users to actually engage the weapon and by combining VR and motion tracking with custom trackers, creating a realistic experience. The CGE served as the main attraction at the world’s biggest arms fair organized by Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI London 2017) and is now a key ingredient in the state of the art showroom at SAAB HQ, located in Stockholm.

“This VR experience has proven to be very popular in our showroom and we are looking forward to extend the functionality to further increase the realism and build on the number of scenarios available for our guests,” says Patrick Mollbrink, Marketing Communication Manager at SAAB AB.

“We are both excited and happy that SAAB again has chosen to partner with Vobling in order to take the CGE to the next level,” says Anders Ribbing, CEO of Vobling.
