| dc.description.abstract | Virtual reality (VR) is a technology which allows
a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment,
whether that environment is a simulation of the real world
or an imaginary world. It is the key to experiencing, feeling
and touching the past, present and the future. It is the
medium of creating our own world, our own customized
reality. In military, new technologies are used to improve
the process of training and development of skills of military
people. Virtual Reality and its use in military applications
has long been discussed, one of the main challengers face
by country like Sri Lanka is lack of knowledge about devices
and unaffordable price for military institutes. Simulators
and virtual environments are powerful tools to train people
in "reality-like" situations with various of training
environments that Sri Lanka does not have. For the years
Sri Lankan militarists participated to trainings which used
Virtual Reality technology as aid of training program. This
militarist have experience the difference between virtual
training environment and live environment training.
Implementing Virtual Reality training has the potential to
create high quality, competence-based solider with high
mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, high
performance, effort and frustration level. Soldiers can
involve in interactive scenarios with Virtual environment
that would have been possible in previous years. The
purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review to
determine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) training
in Military. Most significantly, this study also provides a
baseline for evidence that virtual reality is most suitable
and trending technology for effective training than typical
training programs. | |
