Augmented Reality for Multi-agent Simulation of Air Operations

Lyndon Benke, Michael Papasimeon, Kevin McDonald

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the potential of augmented reality to enhance visualisation and facilitate interrogation of multi-agent simulations of military operations. It describes four use cases for augmented reality in the context of constructive and virtual simulation for operations research, and discusses work undertaken and proposed future projects in both small and large augmented environments. The prototypes developed are used to assess the feasibility and benefits of applying augmented reality to simulation visualisation, wargaming, and the explainability and interpretability of agent behaviour.
