In February 2022, the Russia-Ukraine war broke out. Ukraine has demonstrated a spirit of resistance through leveraging its military power, reservist mobilization and total defense to punch above its weight. Ukraine’s experiences are important lessons for Taiwan. In the context where China does not renounce the use of force against Taiwan, it becomes more urgent for Taiwan to address the limitations of training grounds, weaponry, and human resources, as well as enhance the quality of the military training and all-out defense education. Motion-Sensing Technology has promise for improving both training and education. It constructs a simulated environment with the feature of interaction, and can ease the material, fiscal and human burden in military training and national defense education while enhance learning effectiveness. It has received much attention in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of the metaverse.

Motion-Sensing Technology is an important driving factor in Taiwan’s digital content industry. It is supported by the three sub-fields of software content, experience service and hardware equipment. Among them, the growth rate of software content is highest and has become an edge for Taiwan to develop applications of Motion-Sensing Technology.

The application of Motion-Sensing Technology in military training and education varies according to the degree and objective of the training. With respect to all-out defense education, it is manifested in virtual reality exhibition and digital interactive classroom; in military recruit training or boot camp, it is applied in skill training and pressure-resistance simulation training programs; in the recall training of reservists, it is used for combat mission simulation and medical training. Motion-Sensing Technology is also applied to services’ training, for instance the combat vehicle simulation training in the Army, vessel control training simulation system in the Navy, and virtual combat training in the Air Force, demonstrating that the development of the technology is highly professionalized.
