World of Tanks Neurogaming

For some time now, people in the military industry have been wondering how we can best used forms of virtual entertainment, like video games, to boost our military capacity. Many companies have achieved this in the past, from tactical shooters like America’s Army and ARMA to more fun-finding games like World of Tanks. However, we are now seeing the developers of World of Tanks, Wargaming, move into a whole new niche: Neurogaming.

This deeply exciting idea is being run under the funding group name of VRTech. It’s going to be all about creating something akin to an IMAX VR experience for anyone who wishes to take part. It’s bene built for the competitive gaming scene, but it could have even more focus on helping everything from civil service training to military training.

At a recent demo from Wargaming, they also showed off a deeply exciting new program known as Polygon. Polygon is for all intents and purposes a unique military training simulator. This has become one of the richest, highest quality simulators that most people who have been given access to it have ever seen. They say that it feels incredibly realistic; that moving through an area with your fireteam feels about as real as we could expect a VR simulation to feel at this moment in time.

As part of their wider Neurogaming system, this is using a rift of computers powered with OptiTrack and Oculus Rift set-ups all around you. they are attached to the legs, feet, hands, and arms to help improve body immersion. It’s looking like one of the most in-depth opportunities for military and warfare training that we have ever seen.

With it providing a multiplayer option already, people who tried it out weren’t even on the same continent yet enjoyed flawless gameplay together. The quality of the body animation is said to be the best that we have seen in a VR simulation yet and could only improve. Given this is till a prototype, it’s scary to think of the potential for such software to change how we do almost every aspect of our military training.

For now, though, it’s still quite some way away from release. For those who doubted the idea of ever having military-grade training tools to work with, though, times are changing. VR always had the potential to change how our services train themselves: who ever thought it would get so real so fast, though?

Neurogaming – the Future is Almost Here

The first Neurogaming Conference and Expo was held in San Francisco, May 1 -2, 2013. Developers of neurogames use sensory-motor, behavorial and cognitive technology to engage gamers in exciting and compelling experiences.

According to Forbes, “Recently developed platforms like Xbox Kinect and Nintendo Wii don’t require the motor skill to use complex gamepads, so it’s common to see three year olds and even seventy-three year olds showing those teenagers a thing or two about Nintendo Wii tennis. The next step for game designers is to introduce psycho-emotional inputs measuring anything from heart rate, facial analysis, voice measurement, skin conductance, eye tracking, pupil dilation, brain activity, and your ever-changing emotional profile. These games will know the user at a subconscious level and deliver an experience that could forever blur the line between virtual and reality.”

So, if you’re a lazy lump sitting for hours in front of your Xbox, it’s time to get in shape. Besides left brain and right brain skills, neurogaming will also rely on physical skills such as coordination, timing and perhaps even endurance to give you the ultimate in augmented and perhaps even virtual reality.
