Dr. Mark Dennison, Jr. (Psychologist) & Tiffany Raber (VR researcher) at Army Research Lab are working on developing a common operational picture that links information from across time and diverse locations to deliver the right kind of information for a role (e.g. a soldier needs information about his squad mate position, while a commander wants to know about the platoon position) when they need it.
