In one of the more interesting ‘serious games’ applications (especially if you’re into sports), both the University of Tennessee Volunteers football team and an undisclosed NFL team have begun using a Madden-based simulator to help train their players. [Gamebiz]
On the college side, the University of Tennessee Volunteers football team will be the first university to utilize the PC laptop component of this technology, which allows coaches to transfer X’s and O’s for weekly opponents into a 3D playable simulator for quarterbacks to study.
“We’re leading the nation by taking advantage of this cutting-edge technology and we couldn’t be more pumped about it,” said UT head coach Phillip Fulmer said. “UT football has a long and storied tradition of success and because we look to pioneer groundbreaking concepts before anyone else, we’ll proudly continue that history. The XOS PlayAction Simulator begins a new chapter for UT and we’re pleased to add it to our football training regiment.”
Is this the same technology that you are using for your gay virtual reality cyber sex simulators Jai?

Note in the second link article where it states:
“Colorado is one of 15 schools using the tool now, but that number continues to grow.”
