3D Visualization Can Save Your Life
The U.S. Department of Defense wants to provide their troops with a 3D view of the battlefield. A decade ago, this seemed to be a science fiction fantasy. But since then, there are enough electronic eyes on the battlefield to make this happen.
Developments in graphics software, and more powerful, and cheaper, computers has made 3D representations of the real world easier to obtain. For the military, a 3D view of the battlefield is a life saver, and a big combat advantage. Visualization software would enable a user to quickly move around this 3D view, checking for how things look from different vantage points (especially those of the enemy).
There’s one big drawback to all this. There isn’t enough bandwidth currently available on the battlefield, to move around the data needed to keep the 3D view updated. However, once this problem is resolved, the troops will get their 3D battlefield maps in real-time.
