RealTime Immersive’s Virtual Attain Selected as Finalist
in the 2012 Serious Games Showcase & Challenge
RealTime Immersive Inc., a simulation and serious games company supporting CryENGINE® licensees, announced today its Serious Game Submission entitled Virtual Attain has been selected as a finalist in the 2012 Serious Games Showcase & Challenge. As a finalist, Virtual Attain can be experienced at the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge pavilion (booth #3263) at the Interservice/Industry Training Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in December.
Virtual Attain is designed to be used by soldiers who have previously received training, such as patrol operations, casualty evacuation, call for fire, egress, and special operation tactics. The game puts the commander or patrol leader in a virtual driver seat with a real life scenario where things can go wrong before they step foot on the battlefield. It is designed to help soldiers start planning for what could happen given the history of an area of operation.
Virtual Attain’s use of robust review features, including the Observation Marking System, After Action Review, and Situational Decision Point allows players to make critical decisions during high-pressure, time-limited situations. Students can enhance their situational awareness in hostile environments by taking individual skills previously learned from real world environments and putting them into practice in a simulated team environment.
Virtual Attain is a CryENGINE® powered solution inspired by efforts inside the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command.
John Brooks, CEO of RealTime Immersive, Inc. stated, “Due to current funding challenges and multiple worldwide military operations, RealTime understands the need for a viable virtual solution that can provide safe and effective training. RTI developed Virtual Attain to continue its contributions to the serious games community with the goal of building better products that will make a difference in the lives of our soldiers and first responders.”
