Virtual environments, which can be explored with VR devices, have been state-of-the-art in military mission planning and training for some time now. In a simulated extended reality or virtual reality environment, based on real geographical data from - often distant or high-risk - operational locations, maneuvers can be simulated and optimized without risk and at low cost. This kind of VR solution, in which interactive simulation, as well as annotations and visualizations, are possible, was already developed by VRVis in cooperation with the Austrian Federal Ministry of Defence and the Institut für Militärisches Geowesen as part of the project Virtual Reality for mission planning.
The "milGeoCoopSandbox" project's objective is the design of a VR application for multiple users for planning and presenting military missions. For this, the two main research focuses are the automation of the processing of satellite data (surface models and orthoimage textures) for large-area areas and the development of customized XR and desktop components for future cooperative use of the milGeoVA 3D framework of the Institut für Militärisches Geowesen.
