American tax dollars at work: The US military spending $57 million on ?the most realistic military simulator ever developed,? using Crytek?s CryEngine 3.

 

Called the Dismounted Soldier Training System (DSTS) and in development from Intelligent Decisions, the simulator allows the Army to train using a videogame environment with real weather effects, squad-based interactions, and motion sensor tech.

 

Army personnel will use special ?head-mounted displays on their helmets,? to be able to use the virtual word, but will also need to use ?real-world peripheral vision to ensure they don?t bump into their squad mates.?

 

Each soldier will also don a backpack, called a ?man wearable system,? which is basically a laptop, and then run around using the simulator, which is a training area with a 10-by-10 foot pad.

 

 

It will also allow military trainers to modify a particular mission before sending Special Forces or other soldiers out.

 

The Army plans to have 102 systems installed globally by January 2012.
