Abstract:

This report details the Department of Defense, Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), and partners' development and testing of an updated gaming-based system using the Unity system for simulation development and hardware integration with one such platform: the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN), a large-scale immersive virtual reality system. From 2017 to 2019, engineers from NHRC, National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE), and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) collaboratively developed a complete hardware-software system that integrates seamlessly with existing simulation systems and utilizes the current standard for simulation software development to create a development platform that is robust, flexible, and meets the needs of an evolving military mission.
