Summary	Immersive training in virtual environments can be used for mission rehearsal of Marines while in transit and for training of shipboard personnel in tasks such as fire fighting. However, synthetic training systems have been plagued by the need for elaborate and expensive infrastructures designed to track user movement. These infrastructures require extensive setup and calibration and are thus not easily moved. Often the systems require dedicated spaces, making them unavailable for other purposes. The objective is to develop a self-contained immersive synthetic training system that would be portable and relatively inexpensive.
