Guest_Jim_* Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Augmented reality systems are technologies that somehow affect our view of the world for some purpose. One example would be smartphone keyboards that use a camera to display the ground you are not seeing while walking, and glasses that layer information onto our environment. Recently at Marine Corps Base Quantico, the Augmented Immersive Team Trainer (AITT) was tested with glasses, rendering a non-existent battleground onto a golf course. The glasses, or optical see-through components, were only recently finished and this marks the first time they were integrated into the AITT system. While there are comparable see-through systems available commercially, this system offers are larger field of view and has been likened to having an HD screen in front of your eyes. The Marines do already use HUDs, but this is able to integrate more complex information into the scene than that technology. The AITT program has been running for five years now, and is set to end in the Fall, when it will become part of the Marine Corps Program Manager for Training Systems. At this point, it will continue to be tested for improving situational awareness in training and operations.
