Virtual Worlds are a distinct subset of virtual environments and our current research focus with the technology is to find a way to properly insert simulation based training (SBT) technology into the Infantry Soldier training cycle. A soldier will be able to experience a realistic mission in a virtual environment that exercises their classroom training and get a pass/fail grade from a training officer (TO) based on their performance instead of a paper exam. The theory is that we can create virtual environments with the richness and fidelity needed to properly exercise critical thinking skills and allow soldiers to exercise their classroom training.
