Where does virtual reality fit into military history? One example is linked to the development of flight simulators – a well established training tool for new pilots – which has embraced virtual reality. 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
Virtual reality is used to design combat situations or a ‘virtual war’ for use as a training tool. A simulated war zone is an ideal way to train soldiers for engagement with the enemy but in a controlled way. It removes the risks associated with a real world combat situation such as death or injury. … Continue reading Virtual reality war
The Ground Vehicle Simulators are not as high profiles as flight simulators. Simulators are one main examples of the Future Combat System (FCS) – the foundation of the armed forces’ future. The FCS has a collection of battle command system. They also have a system of advanced vehicles and weapons platforms. These FCS simulators are … Continue reading Ground Vehicle Simulators
The Army use virtual reality in a variety of ways, from combat simulations through to medic training and even recruitment campaigns. In the latter case, the British Army has used virtual reality to recruit potential soldiers from the 18 to 21 year old group. They have used virtual reality headsets which display interactive content. The … Continue reading Virtual reality and the Army
The Navy submarine simulators are totally different from the rest of the simulations sued un-military-vehicles. Over here lifelike graphics are not needed since in a submarine you don’t really need to have windows to see outside. Instead of that these submarine simulators must have the power to project realistic real life like instrument readings very … Continue reading Water Vehicle Simulators
The Navy have made full use of virtual reality in the form of submarine simulators which mimic the actions of a real submarine. These simulators are mounted onto hydraulic arms which pitch and roll as a real submarine would. This is useful when trying to recreate the actions of a submarine when it dives or … Continue reading Virtual reality and the Navy
Virtual reality has proved to be a boon in the filed of Defence. The soldiers get familiarized with the complex military vehicles and their operations and nature. However usage of virtual reality is not only limited to these trainings. Other applications use this as well. This technology is exploited to its maximum limit by the … Continue reading Virtual Boot Camp
Virtual reality parachuting simulation Virtual reality has been adopted by the military – this includes all three services (army, navy and air force) – where it is used for training purposes. This is particularly useful for training soldiers for combat situations or other dangerous settings where they have to learn how to react in an … Continue reading Virtual Reality in the Military
