Virtual Reality team training excels by allowing several users to move around in the same virtual training environment, interacting with each other and solving tasks together from their individual PC workstations.

szenaris has developed just such a system for the training of Bundeswehr amphibious vehicle drivers. Several amphibious vehicles can form a bridge to traverse a river by coupling together and by setting up ramps. The training of such exercises in reality is cost intensive and carries a degree of risk.

To conduct the Virtual Reality team training, we have replicated the entire procedures in the virtual world. Riverscapes, the individual vehicles, environmental influences like current or wind conditions are all components. Each user has their individual task in the system: vehicle control, the setting of ramps, coordinating the process.

Bridging the gap between the virtual and the real world is perfect because the original operating consoles for controlling the vehicles are integrated into the system.
