SDI Government Solutions to Present Augmented Reality Paper at I/ITSEC 2010
SDI Government Solutions and D2 TEAM-Sim Co-Authored White Paper about the Future of Augmented Reality in Military Training

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ, September 01, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- SDI Government Solutions and D2 TEAM-Sim have been selected to present a white paper titled, "Augmented Reality as an Emerging Military Training Technology," at I/ITSEC 2010.

The paper, which assesses the current state of augmented reality in the military and predicts several future applications, is co-authored by Daniel Donovan of SDI Government Solutions and James Cimino of D2 TEAM-Sim. Its acceptance comes just several months after an announcement for an augmented reality roadmap was released by the Aberdeen Proving Ground.

"This technology is rapidly taking root in the military," said Donovan. "It's just another example of how innovations within the training industry can be adapted to deliver critical information to Warfighters in the battlefield."

Cimino agreed, adding, "Logically, it only makes sense for the military to pursue augmented reality. As we described in our paper, it is a technology that is well suited to the challenges of the warzone and it does not necessarily require a tremendous initial investment by the military."

The presentation will feature several demonstrations of augmented reality technology and ways the technology can be deployed by Warfighters. Attendees will be eligible for Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits upon the successful completion of the credit requirements.

I/ITSEC is one of the world's largest annual training technology conferences with approximately 19,000 total registrants in 2009. It connects the Department of Defense with members of the industry and academia to foster new ideas and explore ways to create better training. The conference is being held from November 29 to December 2 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
