Army’s Virtual Reality Plan: A Digital Doppelganger for Every Soldier

Army’s Virtual Reality Plan: A Digital Doppelganger for Every Soldier | Science News | Scoop.it

As the military’s enthusiasm for virtual reality training continues to grow, the Army’s got a new plan to make the programs freakily immersive: National Defense magazine is reporting that the Army wants to give every soldier a digital doppelganger — a custom avatar they can use throughout their stints in the military, and in myriad virtual training environs, from urban combat practice to cultural prep.

Céline Merchiers's curator insight, May 21, 2013 8:29 AM

The American army is buzzy creating a virtual reality training program where the soldiers can train their skills using a personal avatar. Soldiers will be able to train different techniques and skills.

Cyborgs, Software Spies and Shadow Wars: Our 5 Years (Un)covering the Hidden Pentagon

Cyborgs, Software Spies and Shadow Wars: Our 5 Years (Un)covering the Hidden Pentagon | Science News | Scoop.it

I’d like to pretend there was some master plan, that the site you see before you crept out of our skulls fully formed. But the truth is, when Sharon Weinberger and I launched Danger Room five years ago this week, we were just winging it. We wanted to write about the things we thought were cool: the Pentagon’s super-soldier project; China’s cyborg pigeons; the Navy’s puke rays and lightning guns. So we did.

Military Becomes a Major Funder of Synthetic Biology, and Scientists Are Mostly Fine With That

Military Becomes a Major Funder of Synthetic Biology, and Scientists Are Mostly Fine With That | Science News | Scoop.it

Biologists have of late been spared these dilemmas, as President Nixon officially dismantled the nation’s biological weapons program in 1969. But synthetic biology is about transforming biology into an engineering discipline, so perhaps it’s no surprise that the field is confronting the same sorts of questions that may be familiar to physical scientists and engineers.
