Virtual reality and its military utility
Tóm tắt
Virtual reality (VR) is rapidly emerging as a new area of multidisciplinary research. During the last couple of years, its scope has increased beyond academic research, and industry is found making significant investments in this field both for the research as well as for the manufacture of the development of various VR-based products. Various industrial sectors such as information technology, biomedical engineering, structural designing and training aids technology sector are investing into this technology. Military industry which always remains into lookout for new ideas is slowly emerging as one of the major investors into VR. This essay presents an assessment about the relevance of VR for the militaries.
