This report describes a feasibility study for developing | |
a videodisc based computer system for training small unit | |
armor tactics. This system will generalize the techniques | |
of 'surrogate travel' to provide an advanced terrain | |
representation (ATR) system permitting free travel within | |
a simulated environment. The purpose of ATR is to provide | |
a ground-level perspective of a simulated battle. Using | |
pictures taken from many points and perspectives on the | |
terrain, the system displays the appropriate pictures in | |
a fashion simulating the movement of the user's tank. The | |
results of this investigation indicate that present | |
technology is inadequate to allow for the use of computer- | |
generated imagery (CGI) overlays if the visual base is | |
photographs of real terrain; that a terrain board may be | |
appropriate to CGI use; and that a computer-generated | |
image base, while lacking some other desirable | |
properties, provides the greatest certainty that overlays | |
can be made available. Originator-supplied keywords | |
include: Computer-generated imagery, and Training | |
devices. | |
