In experiencing Augmented Reality (AR), cadets and U.S. Military Academy staff took part in a technology demonstration with Magic Leap and EolianVR on Feb. 6 at the West Point Simulation Center. As the technology grows, cadets gain experience on potential applications of AR technology for training and education. Examples of AR software can be in the form of an AR sand table used for tactical planning with multiple users in the same AR environment.
Magic Leap Inc.’s Joe Nolan, senior manager, Business Development of Defense and Public Sector, presented a demonstration to cadets and staff on wearing the Augmented Reality Magic Leap 2 headset with compute pack and controller and showed them how to be able to navigate and interact with pin-point precision within the AR platform.
Nolan demonstrated to the cadets three different scenes in the AR involving an Army tactical operations center, a Police Emergency Response Center (911) and a live visualization of ship traffic in the Gulf of Mexico.
Three cadets who participated in the demonstration were Class of 2027 Cadets Jackson Rice, Sofia Farenfield and Grant Garcia, who are all members of the Army West Point Esports team.
Magic Leap, Inc. is the augmented reality hardware company that produces the Magic Leap 2 device that was demonstrated to the cadets. EolianVR is one of our top tier software developers that created the ARTAK software that runs on Magic Leap's spatial computer.
One of the key features of ARTAK is its ability to bring decision-makers into the operational space remotely, offering a fully immersive experience. This capability is crucial for enabling effective collaboration and informed decision-making, even when stakeholders are physically distant. By utilizing AR and VR technologies, ARTAK bridges the gap between physical and virtual environments, providing an interactive and dynamic platform for stakeholders to engage with real-time data and simulations.
