Abstract

We propose a new augmented reality (AR)-based approach for training using virtual sand table representations of military battlefields. A virtual tactical map (VTM) can archive simple actions such as moving a marker by hand, to provide more organic realizations in virtual military training. The new tangible AR interface provides a content-authoring tool that is natural, intuitive, and user-friendly. AR-interfaced VTMs exhibit multiple possibilities for military learning and training applications.
