Army, RAF and Marines to trial Fortnite-like virtual reality training to prepare for battlezones
The British Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines are to trial using a virtual reality platform based on the computer game Fortnite as part of soldiers' training for battlezones.
The new simulator will allow 30 soldiers to take part in virtual battlefield combat at the same time.
The innovative technology uses the Unreal Engine 4, the same software used in the popular online shooting game Fortnite.
Instead of just clicking a mouse at a desk, servicemen and women will be able to hold a replica gun, and crouch and crawl.
