Augmented Reality: Enabling Component for Effective Live Virtual Constructive Integration

Abstract

This paper describes the results of a RDECOM research project called the Dismounted Augmented Reality Training System (DARTS). The DARTS prototype that was developed under this effort provides encouraging data and a confidence that the tools and techniques that are necessary to implement this technology, in a live military training environment, are not far off. Ultimately the key to successful implementation and use of this emerging technology is for trainers to understand its potential uses and to place command emphasis on further development for specific military uses.
