Accelerating Navy readiness with mobile virtual reality (VR) and handheld gaming PC simulations in the Fleet
- Shipboard-Friendly VR and Handheld Devices Enhance Training Accessibility Attendees will understand how mobile VR and handheld gaming PCs bring immersive, high-fidelity simulations directly to Sailors in the flow of their daily operations, improving skill retention and making training accessible at the point of need.
- Reducing Skill Decay Through Spaced Repetition By leveraging the power of spaced repetition, akin to language learning apps like Duolingo, these training technologies ensure Sailors can frequently practice essential skills in a safe, realistic environment, combatting skill decay that typically occurs after classroom-based training.
- Cost and Time Savings for the Navy The shift from traditional classroom training to on-demand, shipboard simulations reduces congestion in training pipelines and cuts significant costs associated with travel and facility-based instruction, contributing to more efficient resource allocation.
- Future Potential with AI-Driven Training Support The manuscript highlights the future potential of incorporating AI-powered tutors and after-action review systems to personalize learning experiences, provide real-time feedback, and further enhance Sailor readiness through intelligent, adaptive training solutions.
