#FirstThing at First Option 26th Feb 2014

'Games for Serious Training'
Alresford resident and ex Royal Naval Weapons Engineering Officer, Jonathan Read, will lead an interactive demonstration of Games for Training utilising cutting edge technology, based on gaming software, to create realistic battlefield simulations for the military environment. The demonstration will illustrate how using games technology keeps trainees engaged, enthused and willing to come back for more.



Using a combination of his experience in managing complex systems and communicating difficult technical issues to non-technical audiences, Jonathan will demonstrate the power of Bohemia Interactive’s VBS3 (Virtual BattleSpace) software and why advanced simulation technology is taking the military by storm by providing low/no-risk training to military organisations across the globe.

 

Selected guests will be invited to take part in a hands-on training scenario (no danger to life or limb involved!) – all from the safety of our events room here at Signal House. The live demonstration will pit two teams against each other in a simple ‘race to the finish’ challenge, and aims to develop teamwork, planning and communication skills whilst showing off how off-the-shelf games-based technology can be used for serious business aims. 

Latest in our series of #FirstThing breakfast events, this workshop session is filling up fast so don’t delay in booking your place. No military training or aggressive behaviour therapy required – this is an informal and lighthearted snapshot at a very serious subject. With the normal free breakfast and opportunity to network thrown in, of course.

We look forward to seeing you on the day.
