Virtual Reality Mission Planning Mission Rehearsal & Validation Training

Virtual Reality training is conducted using head-mounted displays (HMD) with an inbuilt tracking system and hand control units to enable engaging interaction within the virtual environment.

Virtual Reality simulation enables people to train, practice, and rehearse, in a controlled environment, without the associated risks. They can re-enact a particular scenario, for example engagement with an enemy in an environment in which they experience this but without the real world risks. This has proven to be safer and less costly than traditional training methods.

The innovative technology used in immersive reality solutions enables such a real-life perception that the education and response level of the trainee can be greatly heightened

The actual importance of VR in the military lies in its ability to prepare soldiers for extremely dangerous situations without actually putting them in harm’s way. War or combat situation re-enactment with the help of a virtual reality simulation allows a soldier to learn how to react in appropriate manners befitting the circumstance. A virtually constructed simulation of a dangerous scenario or otherwise not only allows the soldiers to familiarize themselves with military life but also helps them adapt newer skills and techniques necessary for combat.

Advantages of Virtual Reality Training

What are the advantages of virtual reality training? These include the following:

  • Able to simulate dangerous or risky situations within a controlled environment.
  • Accurate and realistic simulations
  • Cater for large numbers of students over various locations
  • Highly visual approach which aids with learning
  • Peer review, feedback and ongoing assessment
  • Deconstruct complex data into manageable chunks
  • Visualisation of complex concepts and theories
  • Exploration of virtual scenarios as experience for real world scenarios.
  • Interaction
  • Ensures that learning is fun and enjoyable where appropriate
  • Cost effective
