Immersive Learning Environments
Abstract
This project matures and demonstrates immersive technologies that include the application of photorealistic synthetic environments, multi-sensory interfaces, virtual humans, and training applications on low-cost game platforms for Soldier training applications using simulation technologies. 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 under PE0601104/Proj J08 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. Efforts in this program element support the Army science and technology Soldier portfolio. Work in this PE complements and is fully coordinated with efforts in PE 0602308A (Advanced Concepts and Simulation), PE 0602785 (Manpower/Personnel/Training Technology), PE 0602787A (Medical Technology) and PE 0603007A (Manpower, Personnel and Training Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Weapons and Materials Research Directorate, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland and Human Research and Engineering Directorate, Simulation and Training Technology Center (STTC), Orlando, Florida.
