Towards 3D Serious Game Simulation for Military Training

Military training often requires specialized conditions and configurations. Numerous training courses demand substantial budgetary allocations for the single-use of materials such as munitions, targets, and related equipment. Moreover, training fields must be carefully prepared and modified to ensure suitability for the intended exercises. This process often raises environmental concerns, particularly in scenarios involving explosives and detonations. This work demonstrates the construction of a 3D serious game simulation tailored for realistic military training applications. The process encompasses the consideration of real-world scale in 3D game locomotion, accurate physical properties and behaviors of virtual objects and environments, and mathematical calculations for military strategies. The System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 79.5 and in-depth interviews indicate that this 3D Serious Game Simulation for Military Training is well-suited for facilitating realistic training experiences within the military domain.
