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.
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.
