The Military Metaverse Fights Back

⊲ Halldale ⊳ Fawkes and Burden’s new book The Military Metaverse, published today by Routledge, maps out the evolution and future direction of virtual worlds, simulation, XR and avatars within defence, and looks to their impact on the future of warfare itself. It discusses how military R&D, acquisition, training, planning, and operations are increasingly shaped by commercial metaverse technologies. It questions whether the military, once leading in XR and simulation, now risks being outpaced by the gaming and wider tech sectors’ cheaper, faster innovation.
