Institute for Creative Technologies Continues to Churn Out Troop Helping Tech
Miller-McCune went insideUniversity of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) and came out armed with information on new trainers and simulators helping U.S. troops.
The center is hard at work on fleshing out (get it?) virtual human technology, which the piece's author states "will most certainly be used in many training and educational roles" in the future. The technology will also inevitably make its way to consumer-based videogames, at least according to ICT's Bill Swartout, who thinks we will all be talking to our games and "interacting with people who're talking back" eventually.
One of the ICT's latest creations is the Mobile Counter-IED Interactive Trainer (MCIT). As shown in the embedded video, the trainer, housed in trailers (hence, mobile) lets users train on both sides of the "game," both as soldier's looking to spot IEDs and insurgent's trying to figure out the best place to plant them.
