The VR combat simulation not only helps soldiers familiarize themselves

with techniques and strategies, it also helps them experience these scenarios.

Unlike the combat simulation in a computer console, VR combat simulation lets

the soldiers properly react in situations using their entire body, and not just by a

click of a mouse.

Another area of the military which is integrating the use of VR is its

medical division. Military medics have to work on extremely stressful conditions

and dangerous environments, while putting their lives at risk.

In the past, medical personnel need to be trained on an actual flying

helicopter, or a moving medical truck. This kind of trainings however fail to replicate

the actual scenario on the battlefield such as the loud sounds of explosions and

gun fires.
