Terrain Training
UK Army
Armchair Travel was commissioned in 1998 by the UK Army to
produce an interactive Virtual Travel tour of the army training range
at Salisbury Plain.
Current
computer-generated 3D terrain systems are still incapable of presenting
the subtle texture and lighting details present in our 360° panoramic
photos, which greatly assist tank commanders in determining the "lay
of the
land."

 Russian
Submarine
Foxtrot U-475
