Soldiers using immersive room to train for war

Military personnel have been using an immersive room that replicates a front line war scenario.

"Similar to escape rooms without the riddles", the Babcock Immersive Training Experience (BITE), has been used at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Filton, Bristol and Warminster, Wiltshire.

BITE shakes, smells and can smoke in an effort to replicate what it feels like to be on the front line in a war situation, and may one day be used for further military training.

Jim Nagle, warrant officer (WO), said: "I think this is as close as you are going to get to the real thing."
