The NADS is going to push simulator technology -- and not just driving simulation technology -- to new heights, said Keith Brewer, director of the Office of Human-Centered Reseatch athehighwayway safety administration in Washington.
Virtual simulation technology has matured to a point where conventional simulators may be replaced with CT scanners.
Virtual simulation technology has come a long way since the Sensorama Simulator from 1962.
Time compression is another cost-saving feature of simulation technology.
Dr. Bragdon foresees the simulation technology as an agent for consensus-building, and therefore better planning.
Meanwhile, the advent of simulation technology will force us to accept that we are likely living in a simulation ourselves.
The government spent more than $140 million to develop the battle simulation technology used at Mount Fuji.
The numbers may not sound too impressive, but this is an important breakthrough in simulation technology and has wide-reaching implications.
"The technology to pick up underground movements and simulation technology has really improved in the last two decades, so the risk is much lower".
"'Ender's Game' has had a lot of influence on our thinking," said Michael Macedonia, director of the Army's simulation technology center in Orlando, Fla., which plans to build a virtual Afghanistan that could host hundreds of thousands of networked computers.
The partnership draws on McLaren's expertise in simulation technology, data management and predictive analytics.
