U5P2
Aims of the Product
Intended outcome
Success Criteria
To allows trainees to be immersed in a war-like environment while being in a VR room, allowing them to simulate a combat environment and train for it.
Trainees will be able to complete their military training with the help of this VR environment.
Command staff will be able to see an 'in-battlefield' perspective, which will help them plan tactics for real combat situations.
Engineers will be able to see how the battlefield and environment impact equipment such as artillery and vehicles, so they can predict what parts are likely to get worn down or break. This will allow them to see this in advance, so that this doesn't happen in the real world.
Information to be delivered
The view of the battlefield, which will be displayed on the VR headset
Additional information to the battlefield view, such as ammo left, health, time, weather...
