Software-based simulators and “virtual realities” will dominate in future training systems.
Predictor: Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) Task Group: High-Performance Computing and Communications Information Technology Subcommittee
Prediction, in context:In a final draft of their Dec. 1, 1993, recommendations for the National Information Infrastructure, members of the High-Performance Computing Communications and Information Technology subcommittee write the following: ”The major thrust of ARPA’s activities is in the area of simulation-based training, in particular, distributed simulations made possible by network technology. In addition, Defense has considerable experience in constructing and using (hardware) simulators of complex systems. Nevertheless, software-based simulators and ‘virtual realities’ will dominate in future training systems.”
