Simulation system based on augmented reality for optimization of training tactics on military operations

Abstract

In this article, we proposed an augmented reality system that was developed in Unity-Vuforia. The system simulates a war environment using three-dimensional objects and audiovisual resources to create a real war conflict. Vuforia software makes use of the database for the creation of the target image and, in conjunction with the Unity video game engine resources, animation algorithms are developed and implemented in 3D objects. That is used at the hardware level are physical images and a camera of a mobile device that combined with the programming allows to visualize the interaction of the objects through the recognition and tracking of images, said algorithms are belonging to Vuforia. The system allows the user to interact with the physical field and the digital objects through the virtual button. To specify, the system was tested and designed for mobile devices that have the Android operating system as they show acceptable performance and easy integration of applications.
