User Manual for the Dismounted Infantry Virtual After Action Review System (DIVAARS) (User Manual)
Abstract
This product includes the operator's manual for the Dismounted Infantry Virtual After Action Review System (DIVAARS). The 16-page manual provides complete instructions for the installation and use of the DIVAARS software. Along with the manual, a description is presented of why and how the manual was developed, including a detailed account of usability testing. Information about obtaining the DIVAARS software is included. DIVAARS can function as the After Acton Review system for any exercise conducted with Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) compliant systems. Examples of DIS systems are: the Squad Synthetic Environment (SSE), Virtual Emergency Response Training System (VERTS), and the Fully Immersive Team Training (FITT) system. DIVAARS is especially useful for training small teams that operate on foot (versus from within vehicles) and in urban areas (including operations inside of buildings). DIVAARS requires a dual Pentium III, 1.0GHZ PC (or single equivalent processor, e.g., Pentum 4,2.0GHZ), 512MB RAM, 40GB drive, and a hardware-accelerated video card (e.g. nVidia GeForce 4). DIVAARS runs on Red Hat Linux (version 8.0 or 9). Other software requirements (freeware via World Wide Web) include the Virtual Environment Software Sandbox 3.0.0, Open Scene Graph 0.9.6, and OpenAL.
