I'm glad the CIA is doing something; I guess virtual fencing hasn't really been a thing since the Summer Olympics tie-in games of the 80s. I'm surprised, really, given the existence of "Bus Simulator", "Farming Simulator" and so on, I would have thought there would be lots of ultra realistic virtual fencing. But a minute or two Googling didn't turn anything up - mostly people discuss fencing-like activities in random games with swordplay.
- tlb 7y agoThe article mentions that the term 'fencing' is used in the sense of prohibiting electronic devices from working outside a geographic region to avoid their use as weapons, rather than swordfighting.
- perl4ever 7y agoWell, if it's covert, then that is presumably just the cover story. Maybe it's a solution for region control of swords, in which case it would be a virtual virtual fencing fencing solution.
