As Good as the Real Thing for Military Training

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Better resolution, contrast and luminance have improved head-mounted virtual and augmented reality systems, giving airborne pilots and seagoing navigators a ‘true-to-life’ representation of the battle theater.

“Fight like you train and train like you fight” is a military maxim. To better do that, the military is turning to virtual, augmented and mixed reality. In virtual reality (VR), digital representations replace the real world, with a high-end example being immersive simulators with realistic sights, sounds and motion. In augmented reality (AR), projected data overlays what trainees see. Mixed reality (MR) combines the real and synthetic. When there are multiple projectors in a virtual reality simulation, they must have their output blended and warped to avoid artifacts where...Read full article

    virtual reality
    Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment or experience that can be interacted with and explored by an individual using electronic devices, such as a headset with a display. VR aims to create a sense of presence, immersing users in a computer-generated world that can be entirely fictional or a replication of the real world. It often involves the use of specialized hardware and software to provide a fully immersive and interactive experience. ...
    augmented reality
    Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that integrates digital information, typically in the form of computer-generated graphics, images, or data, with the real-world environment in real-time. AR enhances the user's perception of the physical world by overlaying or combining digital content onto the user's view of the real world, often through devices like smartphones, tablets, smart glasses, or specialized AR headsets. Key features and principles of augmented reality: Real-time...
