Varjo is reshaping immersive training for Finnish forces with Integrated XR Systems, a turnkey extended reality solution for isolated environments.

The platform bundles headsets, certified workstations, pre-installed software, and licenses into a single, ready-to-use solution.

Its software package includes Microsoft Windows 11 Pro, Varjo Base Pro, Varjo Lab Tools, NVIDIA App, Steam, and SteamVR, equipping teams with everything needed to start immersive XR training immediately.

Traditionally, deploying virtual and mixed reality required coordinating multiple vendors, ensuring hardware and software compatibility, and managing installation and support — a process prone to delays and operational risk.

Integrated XR Systems aims to simplify this by delivering a fully configured, validated platform ready for immediate deployment.

“As defense training requirements evolve, immersive simulation has become a core capability rather than an add-on,” said Bartek Panasewicz, vice president of training systems land at Rheinmetall Electronics, a partner company.

“Varjo’s Integrated XR Systems allow us to deliver scalable, secure solutions that meet the growing demand for operational readiness across NATO and allied forces.”

The platform is within Varjo’s broader push for fully integrated XR solutions, bundling deployment, customization, warranty, and expert support.

This approach ensures a faster transition from initial deployment to full operational use.

Within the offering, the company lists two price tiers based on the headset included: one package centered on the XR-4 headset and priced at 24,990 euros ($27,300), while the other includes the XR-4 Focal Edition headset and costs 29,990 euros ($32,800).

“Varjo continues to invest with discipline and purpose and evolve our portfolio based on the real-world needs of our customers,” said Valentin Storz, the company’s chief revenue officer.

“Our Integrated XR Systems represent the next step in that evolution, delivering complete, secure platforms designed to close the training readiness gap.”
