 Virtual reality technology is no longer science fiction. The battlespace exploration of mixed reality or beamer lab brings the virtual world to the warfighter to conduct simulated training, maintenance and operations. Technological advances in virtual reality allow sailors to conduct training that may not be possible in the real world. O&R's mission is to fund and fundamental science, applied science and advanced science and technology to take the science that we're working on in the academic environments and bring it forward to the warfighter. Beamer is one of these advanced science and technology efforts that harvest the work we've done previously to bring it forward to the warfighter to show them what the future could be. This will be the norm interface in the future. If you would like to learn more about augmented or virtual reality, visit the Office of Naval Research website.
