Abstract
A computer system with an augmented reality display renders one or more virtual training elements in a real world environment. Cameras analyze the local real-world environment to produce a detailed terrain map which is used to more accurately locate the virtual training elements. The cameras also track the movement of the trainee by recognizing terrain features and deriving such movement based on changes from one scan to the next, and potentially based on GPS and inertial management unit data. A centralized computer system correlates terrain maps from a plurality of trainees and defines real-world locations for virtual training elements, then transmitting the virtual training elements to the plurality of trainees.
