Experimental Virtual and Mixed Reality Technologies Can be Applied to Military of the Future

Virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality projects are being developed that can have military applications. One mixed reality project at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies (USC ICT) involves drones small enough to fit in the palm of a hand. The drones can follow and capture a person’s movements so they can be analyzed under a training simulation.
“When you combine performance capture that is autonomously driven with a lot of this biodata, it is going to change the way that athletes train. It is going to change the way that the military trains and operates, and it is going to change the way that we interact with the world,” said Todd Richmond, director of Advanced Prototype Development at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies.
