Enhanced Virtual Presence for Immersive Visualization of Complex Situations for Mission Rehearsal

Abstract

This final report describes the key requirements of an internet-based system that provides an immersive environment for mission rehearsal. It shows how off-the-shelf hardware and software can be used to meet those requirements. A layering implementation technique is used with the common hardware and software to provide economies of scale both in the use of new hardware/software and functionality. Finally specific hardware/software is described where necessary to provide support for mission rehearsal. In particular new inventions such as the Internet Appliance and Remote Access Controller are described in detail together with their implementation.
