Gaming
This day in age video games are doing much more then just entertaining. Gaming has come such a long way that they are now using it as training methods for various occupations. Some examples are flight simulators and combat training for Marines. I myself while serving in the Marines got to use some of this equipment in combat training. We fired modified weaponry at a screen simulating combat situations. How do you feel about this transition to games versus traditional training?

I like it. I dont see why we shouldnt be using it as trainning methods. I have never tried anything like that before but iam sure its a very good way of learning.
ReplyDeleteI personally, like the idea.
ReplyDeleteI like it, in Law Enforcement we used something very similer. We had a modified Glock 21SF and used it for the screen, however the instructor was plugged into the game with a laptop and could modify the situation based upon the officers response. Technology is great and if you do a simple search of Bio-Technology, you will see how idea's from games are starting to become a reality.
ReplyDeleteI think its great its a great safe way for you to get your practice in such as using a flight simulator with out actually having to risk your life when your new to it.
