350 Companies Will Be On Exhibit Floor
Record numbers of
exhibitors and other participants will make next week's conference
and exhibition of modeling and simulation training technologies the
largest of its kind in history. The event, The
Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education
Conference, will be held at the Orange County Convention
Center in Orlando, FL, from December 6th through the 9th.
Once confined to relatively crude flight training devices,
simulation training technology, thanks to phenomenal increases in
computer processing power, has infused all training for complex,
dangerous and physically demanding tasks. Many real-world
situations which would be impossible to recreate without huge cost
or severe risk can now be modeled via simulation to be
indistinguishable from reality.
New developments in the industry include dispersed training,
enabling numerous participants in distant locations to participate
in simultaneous virtual environments; and total sensory immersion,
creating not only visual reality but virtual inputs for all the
senses, thereby duplicating reality in all modes.
Among the capabilities on display by the 350 corporations on the
floor of the Convention Center will be convoy and street fighting
simulators used for training for Iraq; a virtual "flight training
school," featuring mission pre- and de-briefs around flights in an
FA-18A cockpit simulator; and a multi-player US Marine Corps
tactical training environment. Numerous and varied non-military
applications will also be on display, including human patient
simulators; first responder and sky marshal trainers; and remote
sensory devices.
