Training…in the future

By researching current training capabilities, we determined where it could reasonably progress in the future.

This is our vision of where things could be…

Military

Education

Business

MILITARY

MilitaryNavigational Simulators

• Train Officers in ship handling without the cost of getting a ship underway.•Utilize life-like scenarios to train bridge teams.•Practice rescue missions.•Simulate environmental conditions that Captains hope to never encounter.

MilitaryFlight Simulators

• Train pilots in a classroom to ensure understanding of instruments, gauges, and equipment prior to actual flight missions.• Replicate an actual flight experience. • Be able to inject equipment casualties that a pilot might encounter

MilitaryDriving Simulators

• Able to create a virtual training environment for any military vehicle or terrain, such as Iraq or Afghanistan.• Train first responders in negotiating crowded intersections, risk management, and situational awareness.• Train military personnel on the effects of impaired driving i.e. DUI, texting while driving, etc.

BUSINESS

BusinessSecondary Education

• Virtual Classrooms

• Web Cam shows all students online for the class as well as the presenter for collaboration times

• Guest presenters can participate with ease

• Possible classroom graphic allowing each student to have a seat and allow for student interaction with specific students in separate window from class discussion
