Immersive Learning Environments

Abstract

Efforts in this project mature and demonstrate immersive technologies that include the application of photorealistic synthetic environments, multi-sensory interfaces, virtual humans, and training applications on low-cost game platforms. This project uses advanced modeling, simulation, and leadership development techniques to leverage the emerging immersive technologies that are created at the Institute of Creative Technologies (ICT) University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) at the University of Southern California to formulate training demonstrations with an emphasis on urban operations and asymmetric warfare. The ICT's collaboration with its entertainment partners creates a true synthesis of creativity and technology that harnesses the capabilities of industry, and the research and development community to advance the Army's ability to train and practice military skills across the full spectrum of conflict. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Army Research Laboratory, Human Research and Engineering Directorate, Simulation and Training Technology Center (STTC), Orlando, FL.
