“…However, one of the most notable use-case contexts that is not present in the different levels of education yet imperative to specialized training is the military. Works for using S3D in military include the investigation of the effectiveness of such devices for military training [172], their utilization for enhancing military driving [173], and understanding battlespaces and increasing situational awareness for military operations [174].…”

Three-dimensional visualization technologies such as stereoscopic 3D, virtual reality, and augmented reality have already emerged in training and education; however, light field displays are yet to be introduced in such contexts. In this paper, we characterize light field visualization as a potential candidate for the future of training and education, and compare it to other state-of-the-art 3D technologies. We separately address preschool and elementary school education, middle and high school education, higher education, and specialized training, and assess the suitability of light field displays for these utilization contexts via key performance indicators. This paper exhibits various examples for education, and highlights the differences in terms of display requirements and characteristics. Additionally, our contribution analyzes the scientific-literature-related trends of the past 20 years for 3D technologies, and the past 5 years for the level of education. While the acquired data indicates that light field is still lacking in the context of education, general research on the visualization technology is steadily rising. Finally, we specify a number of future research directions that shall contribute to the emergence of light field visualization for training and education.

The success in network-centric warfare requires information superiority to obtain dominant battlespace awareness. The time required to take a decision has been reduced by orders of magnitude, while the volume of accessible data has been increased exponentially. When this volume is displayed to an operator, the risk of reaching a state of information overload is real and great care shall be taken to make sure that what is provided is actually information and not noise. In this paper we propose a novel interaction environment that leverages the augmented reality technology to provide a digitally enhanced view of a real command and control table. The operator equipped with an optical see-through head-mounted display controls the virtual context, a synthetic view of the common operational picture, remaining connected to the real world. Technical details of the system are described together with the evaluation method. The results showed effectiveness of the proposed system in terms of understanding perception, depth impression, and level of immersion. A relevant reduction of the reaction time and of the number of errors made during the execution of complex tasks, have been obtained.

In the information age the ability to develop high-level situational awareness is essential for the success of any military operation. The power of network centric warfare comes from the linking of knowledgeable entities that allows information sharing and collaboration. By increasing the number of commanded platforms, the volume of the data that can be accessed grows exponentially. When this volume is displayed to an operator, there is an high risk to get a state of information overload and great care must be taken to make sure that what is provided is actually information and not noise. In this paper we propose a novel interaction environment that leverages the augmented reality technology to provide a digitally enhanced view of a real command and control table. The operator, equipped with an optical see-through head mounted display, controls the virtual context remaining connected to the real world. Technical details of the system are described together with the evaluation method. Twelve users evaluated the usability of the augmented environment comparing it with a wall-sized stereoscopic human computer interface and with a multi-screen system. Results showed the effectiveness of the proposed system in understanding complex electronic warfare scenarios and in supporting the decision-making process.
