The document describes a military simulator system that utilizes various technologies to provide immersive and realistic training experiences. It uses virtual reality to create 360 degree visual environments, motion sensing to track user movements in real-time, and force feedback mechanisms like an electrified vest to simulate physical sensations like injuries. It also proposes using RFID microchips implanted in users to easily identify individuals and transmit medical data. The system aims to improve training outcomes for the military by more closely replicating real-world combat situations.

2. Service Computing
 An idea that seeks to provide essentially merge
business strategy and IT strategy
 This is achieved by the use of Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA)

3. Service-Oriented
Architecture
 A design methodology in which the inter-
compatibility of a multitude of separate software
 Implementations is exploited to provide the
functionality of a more traditional software
application
 Facilitates the exchange of information between
systems without substantial interaction of an
agent required

4. Personal
 The most obvious example is that of Software as a
Service (SaaS).
 Essentially software 'on-demand'
 Compatibility problems essentially erased
 Examples Include:
 Microsoft Office 365
 Google Apps

5. Local
 Allows smaller businesses to more easily extend
their reach
 Enables these businesses access to the same level
of software as the larger businesses at an
appropriate price

6. Global
 Hastens communication and transactions
between multinational businesses, while at the
same time lowering the costs necessary to
facilitate these transactions
 Automates processes while allowing changes to
be distributed almost instantaneously

8. Virtual Reality
• Many Applications (Pilot training,
Gaming)
• 360o
visual environment
• Accompanying directional audio
• Experienced through wearable
headset or specially designed
room (360o
Projectors)

9. Motion Sensing
 Allows user input through movement
 Provides realistic experience (no
controller
 Feel like you’re in that world

10. Force Feedback
 Provides output from the application directly to the user
 New technology allows support for first person shooters
 Realistic bullet fire direction, explosion and other
environmental damage feedback
 Compressed air impacts to simulate damage

11. Microchips
 Quick easy identification
 Safe for human use
 Can provide information on:
- Allergies,
- medical records,
- personal information,
- contact information

13. Virtual Reality
 The visual display of the system provides the user
with an immersive environment for their training to
take place in. It also displays information on local
conditions and communications for use in the
field
 Military simulators have many different facets for
training different troops, the system will give
troops a much more immersive experience
helping them learn the best tactics and actions
to improve their effectiveness in the heat of
battle

14. Force Feedback
 Force feedback allows the user to feel the
impacts of the environment on their body. This
includes mechanical feedback, sensory
stimulation and visual indicators
 An electrified vest provides feeling to indicate the
location of injuries
 The VirtuSphere increases rolling resistance to
simulate hills and moving slower over rough
terrain

15. Motion Sensing
 The system uses motion sensing technology to
track the user. This can be transmitted in real time
to monitor the user’s behaviour and to allow more
realistic motion based controls in the simulation
 The VirtuSphere is fitted to transmit data on the
speed and direction of movement into the
simulation
 Kinect video tracking systems provide accurate
information on the movement of individual limbs
to translate complicated gestures into simulated
actions

16. RFID Microchips
 Provides easy identification of users and
equipment
 Allows for vital information to be passed between
users instantly (Medication, past injuries, next of
kin etc.)
 Can allow tracking to reduce incidence of
friendly fire and aid in locating friendly units
 RFID chips can be repurposed for many different
tasks, so this one solution will support many future
advancements and technologies

17. Uses
 Gaming
 Virtual Tours
 Private Security
 Army Training
 Scoring System
 Training civilians
 Chip insertion for Medics

18. Software
 New design of game
 3rd
Space game drivers
 Softkinect for 3D body tracking
 AUTOCAD 3DS MAX
 Run on windows

25. Weaknesses
 Cost
 Over $50 Million all up
 Ethical issues with microchips
 Privacy
 Security
 Theft
 Travel sickness
 Hard to use

26. Viability
 Very useful for countries armies
 Help improve fitness of population
 Saves lives in times of war
 Chips help stop criminals

27. Future
 Massive increase in online games
 More accurate virtual reality
 Mind control
 Chips
 No need for physical money
 No need for ID
