We reported last year that the Israeli military is trying to adapt the augmented reality device of Microsoft HoloLens to provide commanders with up-to-date information about the location of the fighters . The remote control of robots with gestures, the recognition of persons on the checkpoints - these are just a few of the possible applications of Microsoft HoloLens, which Israeli specialists are thinking about.
Bloomberg reports that the Israeli military is already studying the possibility of using virtual reality devices to train units involved in the fight against sabotage groups of the enemy penetrating the country through a system of underground tunnels.
And the HTC Vive is also used. True, in this case, the fighter no longer sits in front of the computer in his helmet, and trains standing, using manipulators to neutralize virtual traps in the tunnels. At the next stage of training, combat units work out the interaction in a modular labyrinth, assembled from blocks resembling in their configuration the internal space of real tunnels. This is already a training in an environment as close to reality as possible.
The developers hope to increase the number of computers in the classroom in the near future, so that up to 20 fighters can train at the same time. The experience gained by the Israelis can be "exported" to the United States, Mexico, Iraq and South Korea - all these countries, according to the source, face the problem of conducting special operations in underground tunnels. Technologies of augmented reality will at the same time be used for training in the methods of neutralizing booby traps. Related Products :
