Three views of military applications of virtu
6、al reality are:i) as a simulation of realityii) as an extension of human senses through telepresenceiii) as an information enhancer through augmented reality.,As military simulations,Flight trainers - looked like sawed-off coffins mounted on a pedestal, used to teach instrument flying - Virtual envi
7、ronment produced:the darkness inside the trainer cockpit, realistic readings on the instrument panel, and the motion of the trainer on the pedestal combined to produce a sensation similar to actually flying on instruments at night,Simulator designers needed a way to produce a view of the outside wor
8、ld When television and video cameras became available in 1950s, simulator designers used the video camera as if it were flying over a scale model of the terrain around an airport. Resulting image: sent to a television monitor placed in front of the pilot in the simulator The pilot could control the
9、movement of the camera over the terrain board by moving the control stick and throttle. As a result: the pilot could receive visual feedback both inside and outside the cockpit.,Newest innovation: Project called SIMNET to electronically connect two or more simulators to produce a distributed simulat
10、ion environment.SIMNET can be used not only for training, but also to develop and test new combat strategy and tactics.,Telepresence for Military Missions,Two rather obvious reasons why the military explore and utilize telepresence in their operations:1) reduce exposure to hazards 2) to increase ste
11、alth,Smart weapons and remotely- piloted vehicles (RPVs) were developed because:- many aspects of combat operations are very hazardous - more risky if the combatant seeks to improve his performance Some smart weapons are autonomous, others are remotely controlled after they are launched,Advantages:-
12、 allows the shooter and weapon controller to launch the weapon and immediately seek cover - being in a safer place - the RPV can be made smaller than a vehicle that would carry a man, thus making it more difficult for the enemy to detect,Military Information Enhancement,Objective: to supply the pilo
13、t or tank commander with as much of the necessary information The Air Force developed the head-up display (HUD) - optically combines critical information (altitude, airspeed, heading) with an unobstructed view through the forward windscreen of a fighter aircraft.,With the HUD, the pilot never has to
14、 look down at his instruments. This combination of real and virtual views of the outside world can be extended to nighttime operations. Using an infrared camera mounted in the nose of the aircraft, an enhanced view of the terrain ahead of the aircraft can be projected on the HUD. Effect: The pilot c
