Just today, Forterra announced a contract to integrate with Army technology for simulations and collaboration.
The Army trains 500,000 Soldiers every year and there is a significant diversity of learning abilities among those 500,000 human beings. What we are after is to develop better ways of training them so they can all be trained up to certain skill levels," Dr. John Parmentola, director for Army research and laboratory management told Nanotechwire.com of neuroscience research into training.
The goal is also to use virtual environments that builds on that research. "That's about creating virtual worlds that are essentially indistinguishable from reality. One of the key challenges we have in that area is to create virtual humans. Of course the work of neuroscience plays a key role in trying to create virtual humans that, for all intents and purposes, act and interact just like humans."
