Virtual Reality: The Future Of Military Training

With technology advancing at an ever increasing pace, military equipment can struggle to keep up.
But a team at Birmingham University is experimenting with the very latest in virtual reality simulations and software.
Looking 20 years into the future, they're hoping to develop tools which could one day be used for training, or even find their way onto the battlefield.

If they train a special unit in the military for a year only with virtual Reality training, but of course Train for fitness and work out and more VR training for a Year and after a year send that special unit out in the fight I'm sure these soldiers would have so much experience for the training they would be almost like super soldiers considering that they also Train and work out a lot as well for a year while doing VR of training and train in reality to see if it's beneficial. Who knows, an experiment really to see if it will work out.

Surely they’ll be investing in a mobile ground drone too for 3D mapping interiors

Hopefully by the time I'm in they will be introducing this stuff, and by the end of my career I can't even imagine what the army will have at it's disposal

Jake Hebblethwaite how old are you currently

Some people got buried in those things and people experience the outside world from a robot that controls a robot that looks entirely human. Military grade stuff. It's offered to Medal of Honors.

Isn't the smell aspect basically that one episode of Some Assembly Required?

[@questioneverythingalways820]

The drone is needed though!

jesus christ. do you understand what this means? people will be programmed through this. gamers will be actual soldiers because they will be already been trained

[@donkeyslayer8370]

i doubt most gamers are physically trained to actually use guns. the vr training is just to develop neural connections/muscle memory

[@questioneverythingalways820]

Smell. Lmao - not important at all.
