Where: OSCC Keynote 4

A fundamental concern raised by 3D collaborative virtual training exercises is their direct relevance to real world situations. Trainers require that virtual training exercises match closely their daily practice and expectations in the real world. We demonstrate our approach that allows trainers to mash up Google maps with their customized virtual scenarios in order to facilitate the translation of skills and insights acquired in the virtual world into improved real world competencies.
