Virtual reality really is the, that next computing platform.
It unburdens us of the spatial and temporal limits for
experiencing things. So you can be anywhere, from anywhere, and
do anything. Whether that allows us to do, is reduce some of the
costs of building full-fledged hardware devices and actually
allow people to feel present and in the environment and feel
that visceral reaction to real events that might be happening
now only virtually, but they feel real. And so you can
effectively train people with a lot lower overhead and a lot
less cost with achieving those goals.
Virtual reality presents an almost unlimited canvas to
provide training, education, and excitement for the Sailors.
It’s a total immersion into an environment is through
visual, audio, and soon to be touch stimulation. You can have
an entire submarine at your disposal using a headset
and a small computer.
It’s eye opening on so many levels. And challenging.
It’s out there in industry. Leveraging it for our Program
and what we do every day is exciting to me um to take us
into the future and provide better training to the Navy.
Um, more immersive training
As the technology advances, it’s going to become even more
important and more flexible in five years, ten years, something
that we haven’t even conceived of at this point in time due to
technological advances.
What I get a lot of satisfaction out of is providing something
for the students, for the Sailors
Its stuff I really never thought I’d be doing at work.
I can learn it on the outside and directly apply it to work
on something that is new and not everybody is going
to get a chance to work on, but so far, it looks like I am,
and that’s thrilling.
