French Military Applications of Virtual Reality

Abstract

France is now applying virtual reality techniques to military purposes. In parallel, France is conducting studies related to the psychological effects of immersion. Our approach is based on the creation of synthetic environments in which men are more or less immersed. Besides we have been searching for the means that will give the best price/quality ratio. This resulted in creating environments which are both simplified and improved with respect to the actual environment. This document describes some current applications.
