Training Technology (Other than STE)
Abstract
This Project investigates novel medical training simulations that address all levels of care through improvements in haptic feedback and automated performance assessments in support of Army medical Individual Critical Task Lists (ICTLs). This Project designs and develops early proof-of concept training systems to support non-traditional medical areas, such as dental training simulations. This Project conducts research in immersive virtual, mixed, and augmented reality environments that stimulate human senses (e.g. sight, sound, and touch) and also conducts experiments to understand how users interface with the technology in order to improve the realism of simulation environments and therefore create enhanced immersion and more effective training systems. Research is also conducted to support the modernization of the current Live Training Environment (LTE) to allow fair fight engagements across all training environments and training devices. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC) and at the Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) at the University of Southern California.
