00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:21.788
Virtual reality really is the,
that next computing platform.

00:00:21.788 --> 00:00:26.326
It unburdens us of the spatial
and temporal limits for

00:00:26.326 --> 00:00:30.563
experiencing things. So you can
be anywhere, from anywhere, and

00:00:30.563 --> 00:00:34.234
do anything. Whether that allows
us to do, is reduce some of the

00:00:34.234 --> 00:00:40.173
costs of building full-fledged
hardware devices and actually

00:00:40.173 --> 00:00:43.977
allow people to feel present
and in the environment and feel

00:00:43.977 --> 00:00:48.248
that visceral reaction to real
events that might be happening

00:00:48.248 --> 00:00:51.885
now only virtually, but they
feel real. And so you can

00:00:51.885 --> 00:00:55.555
effectively train people with a
lot lower overhead and a lot

00:00:55.555 --> 00:00:59.225
less cost with
achieving those goals.

00:00:59.225 --> 00:01:03.396
Virtual reality presents an
almost unlimited canvas to

00:01:03.396 --> 00:01:08.568
provide training, education,
and excitement for the Sailors.

00:01:08.568 --> 00:01:12.138
It’s a total immersion into
an environment is through

00:01:12.138 --> 00:01:16.976
visual, audio, and soon to be
touch stimulation. You can have

00:01:16.976 --> 00:01:19.779
an entire submarine at your
disposal using a headset

00:01:19.779 --> 00:01:22.082
and a small computer.

00:01:22.082 --> 00:01:28.088
It’s eye opening on so many
levels. And challenging.

00:01:28.088 --> 00:01:31.291
It’s out there in industry.
Leveraging it for our Program

00:01:31.291 --> 00:01:34.594
and what we do every day
is exciting to me um to take us

00:01:34.594 --> 00:01:37.997
into the future and provide
better training to the Navy.

00:01:37.997 --> 00:01:39.899
Um, more immersive training

00:01:39.899 --> 00:01:43.436
As the technology advances,
it’s going to become even more

00:01:43.436 --> 00:01:46.773
important and more flexible in
five years, ten years, something

00:01:46.773 --> 00:01:50.510
that we haven’t even conceived
of at this point in time due to

00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:52.045
technological advances.

00:01:52.045 --> 00:01:55.482
What I get a lot of satisfaction
out of is providing something

00:01:55.482 --> 00:01:58.118
for the students, for the Sailors

00:01:58.118 --> 00:02:01.054
Its stuff I really never
thought I’d be doing at work.

00:02:01.054 --> 00:02:04.057
I can learn it on the outside
and directly apply it to work

00:02:04.057 --> 00:02:07.827
on something that is new
and not everybody is going

00:02:07.827 --> 00:02:10.830
to get a chance to work on, but
so far, it looks like I am,

00:02:10.830 --> 00:02:12.765
and that’s thrilling.
