Soldiers Playing Games Again
It's happening again. Someone in the military must have great negotiating powers! Getting people to play first person shooters for a living is quite impressive ;) Anyway, the article over on Reuters entitled Soldiers Play 'Virtual Reality' Training Games describes how the University of Southern California, the U.S. military and Holywood film makers have combined to hopefully create the ultimate training program. Sounds like fun to me! |

Sim Soldier Fun
The same story, but from CNN this time: War games: Military Training Goes High-tech The article goes into an example scenario of training, which is odd enough to happen in real-life... and therein lies the beauty of the training program. Even if the situations don't happen in real life, they allow the soldier to learn to deal with new situations, and learn more about himself when he reacts to the new situation. Apparently, the creating realistic but not monotonous A.I. for the population to behave in such origian ways was a big challenge for the designers. One other cool fact is that the entire world is projected onto a huge screen with 150 degrees of view! |
