Military Times Editor-at-Large, Todd South, featured ICT in his article New Army-Funded Tech Creates Realistic Terrain, Avatars in Simulations.
“Work between the Army and an institute at a California university is perfecting a way to merge photos and videos to create a more realistic simulation experience,” wrote South in a briefing which also appeared in Early Bird Brief, as well as the individual editions of the Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corp Times. “The project, dubbed “3D Geospatial Terrain — Large-Scale Gaussian Splatting,” at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies provides such detail that users can see light patterns shift as they move around an object in a simulated environment.”
“In recent years, the Army has prioritized modernizing its modeling and simulations,” continued South. “Primarily through its Program Executive Office-Simulation, Training and Instrumentation and its Cross Functional Team-Synthetic Training Environment. Each of the services are seeking to upgrade and expand use of simulation technology for more cost-effective and safer supplements to live training.”
