Virtual Environments in Intelligent Military Operations Problem Solving
conference paper
In the last two decades computers have become more and more common in supporting a commander's decision taking. The increasing volume, diversity and complexity of the available data however pushes the limitation of comprehension and absorprion of human decision takers. This coupled to the need of rapid response leads to human decision maken shifting from cognitive decision making to more and more instinctive decision making. It is stated that VPE's can buy us the time to shift back to a cognition. Furthermore they can enhance command and control by supporting human qualitative reasoning. Virtual environments still have to grow in maturity to be able to create VPE's both in terms of hardware requirements and available metaphors in the VE Research from both the VE- and AI communities should focus on the latter.
