Summary NPS MOVES will help to evaluate a variety of online gaming technologies with respect to team interaction and collaboration capabilities. A handful of test scenarios will be played out within different online gaming environments, using both typical laptops and specialty commercial-hardware interaction devices. Remote players on the East Coast will also participate so that collaboration effectiveness can be evaluated among distant sites. The potential ability to store and replay network streams will be examined in order to consider whether diverse commercial game-play environments can be captured and subsequently re-run as a training tool.
