Military Training with Virtual Technology
London (UK), March 2012 - A NATO-commissioned serious game is the first of its kind to be scheduled for large-scale deployment on Android and iOS mobile devices. It will be used by military personnel in operational areas throughout the world.
The serious game, created by a leading training and simulation partnership including Caspian Learning, ECS, and Bohemia Interactive Simulations with the powerful military-simulation software VBSWorlds has been designed specifically to operate alongside NATO's Nexus Virtual World platform.
By developing the serious game with existing NATO training assets, instructors and students are able to immerse themselves in the interactive training scenario. The serious game is fully SCORM compliant and performance can be tracked through a learning system.
Once complete, the finished scenario will be deployed not only to PC and web but also to handheld mobile devices including Windows-based devices, iOS, and Android.
Lee Rushworth, a spokesman for Caspian Learning says, "We are delighted to continue to work with NATO on highly innovative, transformational training projects, and we look forward to continuing to work on future projects of even greater scale."
The mobile version of the "Boarders Ahoy" simulation will be available to view and play on the Android Marketplace shortly.
