EAGLE-I – IED DETECTION TRAINEREagle-I Objective: To increase warfighter experience and training for the IED threat through the use of videogame technology

The game will teach a player to spot situational anomalies, reinforcing the skills necessary to recognize possible IED locations.

Main Gameplay Components

IED detection in a simulated 3D environment (RealWorld)

Mini-games support underlying skills such as visual memory techniques, change detection, and observation

Meta-game ties it all together and provides end-user with overarching purpose
