Abstract

Virtual environments that allow multiple participants to cooperatively interact present complex design problems. In this article, we describe the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), a joint US Army-Loral project, which is the first fully distributed interactive simulation (DIS)-compliant training system development effort. This Army program´s approach relies successfully on concurrent engineering, spiral development and usability engineering
