Distributed Collaborative Virtual Reality Framework for System Prototyping and Training

Abstract

In this paper, we address the use of enabling technologies in the military and describe a framework that takes advantage of several state-of-the-art technologies to perform combat system design, evaluation and training. The framework uses virtual reality and distributed computing technologies to provide users (trainees, trainers, or combat system designers) an immersive environment to interact with the combat system and the other users. The framework allows participants to collaborate on the same mission or activity in the virtual environment without the need to be at the same geographical location.
