With the advent of VR the possibilities in this area have greatly increased. With virtual reality in military training, they can improve their skills and train their capabilities in safe environments. Also, virtual reality is also applied to pilot training thanks to flight simulation. The latter brings great advantages such as safety, cost-effectiveness and the absence of contamination.
Another example is being developed by the Korean company DoDAAM, who have used this technology for skydiving. Thanks to VR, the user gets a subjective view of the jump and is able to direct their movements in virtual space without putting themselves at real risk. In addition, the British company Plextex has specialised in a specific sensor technology to identify a soldier’s medical problems on the battlefield, which could save lives while saving money. Finally, Russia has created Svarog, a helmet with an integrated VR viewfinder through which a drone can be controlled by simply turning your head and looking at the desired target.
