One more step into the future with augmented reality training

Australian Army Maj. Adam Murcott of TRADOC Proponent Office-Constructive, in partnership with TPO-Synthetic Training Environment and the Combined Arms Center-Training Innovation Facility, developed a prototype class on the components of an HE 155 round. Where an inert round cross section of the 155 round would cost ~70,000, Murcott developed a superior visualization and class over the weekend, using free tools and programs. The CAC-TIF staff then imported Murcott’s work into the CAC-TIF created VORTX program. Augmented reality classes like this can fundamentally change how the army trains and learns -  saving money and increasing the rate at which knowledge is transferred.
