The Use of Interactive Technology and Virtual Reality in Support of the Naval Special Warfare Mission

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to develop and to deploy an interactive computer-based system that enables the creation of user-configurable virtual environments in support of Naval Special Warfare (NSW) planning and rehearsal activities. This next-generation approach to mission planning and rehearsal is based on the use of a Large Scale Virtual Environment (LSVE) that is constructed from observations, model output, analysis products and various data streams. This approach changes the way information is viewed and manipulated, and provides an actual sense of presence to the user thereby aiding in the mental process of assimilating complex mission critical information.
