The results of the simulator services offered by Talon Simulations LLC can be seen in U.S. Army installations, Dave & Buster’s arcades — and now, the ritzy home down the street.
Altamonte Springs-based Talon offers consulting, installation and support services for virtual-reality motion simulators.
While entertainment centers, like arcades, were its primary customers base before the Covid-19 pandemic, Talon has found success in working with the federal government, as well as high-net-worth gamers who want to upgrade the way they play.
That last customer category may not be who typically is imagined as driving the demand for machines that replicate boats or airplanes. Entertainment and training industries are still Talon’s biggest customers, but individual hobbyist buyers have provided another source of business after on-site entertainment centers were hurt by the pandemic, Talon CEO and co-founder Brandon Naids told Orlando Inno.
Those customers often are caught choosing between systems that cost less than $5,000 or up to $100,000, but Talon falls in the middle by working with systems that cost $20,000-$30,000, Naids said. Typically, customers want high-end flight or racing simulators, he added.
