Immersive in Mixed Reality (MR) to Support 3D Geospatial in Training Military Decision Making

This research includes application of Mixed Reality (MR) technology, to support and optimized the learning process involved in decision-making process specifically in military field. This research was focused on usability factors that can help in learning decision-making process. Military operations are highly depending on area of operation (coordinate) on the map and Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that can help in making decision and train the military officer to make decision. The gap between operator’s behavior and prototype system can be filled with the element of immersiveness of MR. The element of immersiveness of MR is one of the key factors that contribute towards Critical Success Factors (CSFs). Using Mixed Reality (MR) technology, the element of immersiveness can be applied efficiently in the prototype. Map of geospatial terrain is important as a weapon or a piece of survival equipment to the military officers. Maps of geospatial terrain is vital in military since military officers needs to map details as they found when navigate new places. Military will strategist using map in conventional way in the process of locating the position of opponent forces, planning variety of military operations, comprehending key features with distances, locations, heights and good selection of routes. Based on the facts, this research highlighted the application of 3D geospatial terrain and intelligent system since the immersive and visualization will be enhanced by MR. This research embarks on nature of training in military decision-making and capabilities of Mixed Reality (MR) technology by applying the Virtual Reality (VR) and hologram in order to enhance the effectiveness of Situational Awareness (SA) amongst training decision makers’ and human-system immersiveness during brainstorming of Course of Actions (COAs) parameters. The crux of this research is to provide effective and efficient ways of comprehending the 3D Geospatial Map Terrain while applying the technology of Mixed Reality (MR) in the process of training the military decision-making.
