Verification of a Battlefield Visualization Framework in Military Decision Making using Holograms (3D) and multi-touch technology

Holograms Technology gives tremendous interactive surface in collaborations' atmosphere. This technology is becoming increasingly affordable medium as it inherited characteristics of a conventional workspace, a projected personal computer and touching capabilities. Holograms Technology offers a world of possibilities task engagement neither face-to-face collaboration nor remote collaboration in 3 Dimensional (3D) environment. It creates an effective and efficient way of presentation by offering an interactive display medium in order to cater the abilities of users' vision. This may enrich the visualization elements during making decision or even in military planning process. Due to these advantages, the Army Planning doctrine have seen these technology as a future bright in theirs planning operations moreover the execution of ‘Course of Actions’ (COAs). Adding to this note, by emerging the Holograms Technology capabilities may have a great potential to improve soldier performance in making decision. The Army Officers' easily visualized the bulk of information and at the same time pointed out all the relevant and important information using Multi-touch Table as discussion medium. The information need to be digested and manipulated effectively amongst the Army Officers' before any decision can be made under time constraints.
