“…[99] proposed a demand driven approach (which, of course, has the challenge of delays) or a solution, such as the upload of a video with separate wiring (which suffers from synchronization issues) and IP multicast architecture based on 1 to N communication. Structures, such as distributed interactive simulation (DIS), take latency into account [100]. Apart from these issues, MR platforms require a new generation of networks that allow adaptation based on the individual (user).…”

Currently, new technologies have enabled the design of smart applications that are used as decision-making tools in the problems of daily life. The key issue in designing such an application is the increasing level of user interaction. Mixed reality (MR) is an emerging technology that deals with maximum user interaction in the real world compared to other similar technologies. Developing an MR application is complicated, and depends on the different components that have been addressed in previous literature. In addition to the extraction of such components, a comprehensive study that presents a generic framework comprising all components required to develop MR applications needs to be performed. This review studies intensive research to obtain a comprehensive framework for MR applications. The suggested framework comprises five layers: the first layer considers system components; the second and third layers focus on architectural issues for component integration; the fourth layer is the application layer that executes the architecture; and the fifth layer is the user interface layer that enables user interaction. The merits of this study are as follows: this review can act as a proper resource for MR basic concepts, and it introduces MR development steps and analytical models, a simulation toolkit, system types, and architecture types, in addition to practical issues for stakeholders such as considering MR different domains.

“…When it comes to research papers related directly with firearms handling skills there are also many positions available. Article "LVC interaction within a mixed-reality training system" (Pollock et al, 2012) presents foundations, usage and problems connected with development of battlefield simulator called Veldt. It mixes real elements like rooms, foyers and doors with virtual reality.…”

The paper presents the model of the serious game designed to develop firearm handling skills. The game is dedicated to act as an educational tool. Its aim is to teach how to disassembly and assembly weapons. The main aim of the paper is to present and discuss educational value of this kind of serious games. Detailed results were obtained after end user examination. What is more, the aspect of ergonomic and usability is also covered. The paper presents also the game design and development process.

“…While the MIRAGE, a 40' x 40' reconfigurable space with high-precision motion tracking, can support a variety of research settings, the T3V was intended for use with the "Veldt," a particular setting designed for research on military training for dismounted personnel 1,2 . Multiple live participants, both friendly and hostile along with their tools or weapons, are tracked in 3-dimensions and are able to interact with virtual or constructive (computer-controlled) entities.…”

Current training simulators for police officers and soldiers lack two critical qualities for establishing a compelling sense of immersion within a virtual environment: a strong disincentive to getting shot, and accurate feedback about the bodily location of a shot. This research addresses these issues with hardware architecture for a Tactical Tactile Training Vest (T3V). In this study, we have evaluated the design space of impact "tactors" and present a T3V prototype that can be viscerally felt.This research focuses on determining the optimal design parameters for creating maximum tactor hitting energy. The energy transferred to the projectile directly relates to the quality of the disincentive. The complete T3V design will include an array of these tactors on front and back of the body to offer accurate spatial feedback.The impact tactor created and tested for this research is an electromagnetic projectile launcher, similar to a solenoid, but lower profile and higher energy. Our best tactor produced projectile energy of approximately 0.08 Joules with an efficiency at just above 0.1%. Users in an informal pilot study described the feeling as "surprising," "irritating," and "startling," suggesting that this level of force is approaching our target level of disincentive.
