The Naval Postgraduate School MOVES Program -- Entertainment Research Directions

Abstract

In 1997, the National Research Council issued a report that specified a joint research agenda for defense and entertainment modeling and simulation [NRC,97]. The NRC report provides a guide as to what research and development needs to be done to develop our future interactive entertainment and defense modeling and simulation systems. As a consequence of that report, a number of research laboratories have developed a joint entertainment/VR or entertainment/defense or entertainment/NASA focus. The Naval Postgraduate School MOVES Program, the largest modeling, virtual environments and simulation academic program, is one such organization following that report’s research agenda with a number of active projects in defense and entertainment collaboration.
