Total Immersion Software, Inc. proposes to leverage DARPAs $40M+ investment in the development of the RealWorld® 3D virtual mission rehearsal and training platform and toolkit, and extend its capabilities to create a scenario-based virtual training tool for the HAGA. RealWorld is a government-owned, royalty-free, game technology based simulation platform and toolkit. The Phase I effort will focus on researching and defining the technology extensions required to provide a virtual world based medic trainer that will operate in teaching, learning and test modes. It will also elaborate upon the technology and content required to train operations such as physical placement and movement of diagnostic and treatment items; usage of treatment items and their special relationships; logistics and sequencing of care and operations; implement, train and test local point of injury and higher care communications; test effects of patient location and orientation with interior/exterior lighting on/off; emergency evacuation sequences; loading and unloading patients; moving patients to/from litters, seats, inside/outside; medic movements to diagnose & administer care to patients. Furthermore, this effort will analyze the currently available technologies and extensions required to achieve the sponsors goals in subsequent phases.
