Virtual reality technology is used for army exercises where the aim is to simulate combat manoeuvres but without the risk of physical danger to the participants. This means exploring hostile environments and dealing with unexpected or unwarranted situations. These situations form part of a normal tour of duty but require the necessary skills and expertise … Continue reading Virtual reality army exercises
The air force use virtual reality as part of their training systems. The most well known use if flight simulators which are designed to teach flying skills but within a safe environment. But virtual reality is also used to treat sufferers of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) who have recently returned from a combat zone … Continue reading Virtual reality air force training
The Navy use virtual reality for training purposes but also in emergency situations such as an incident on a submarine or a fire onboard a ship.

The newer models use electronics, computers, tracking devices, software and high quality graphics to provide an immersive flying experience to trainee pilots. … Continue reading Virtual Reality Military History
Military vehicle simulations are one of the most successful implementation of the VR technology. Sophisticated computer models are called simulators. They are a duplicate or a replica of the vehicle. They behave exactly with as much efficiency as a vehicle does. But it works in a controlled environment. So in short it’s much safer. Flight … Continue reading Flight Simulators
