U.S. Navy to showcase mixed-reality experience at El Centro Air Show

EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The U.S. Navy will be showcasing a mixed-reality experience at the El Centro Air Show.

The mixed-reality event will have participants experience technology and teamwork used by the U.S. Navy.

By using a Meta Quest 3, participants will be able to join a team to launch a jet, repair undersea crafts, and more.

"From the depths of the sea to the heights of the stars, America's Navy is the most highly skilled, technologically advanced military force in the world," says Rear Admiral James P. Waters, Commander, Navy Recruiting Command. "A STEM career in the Navy provides a life-changing experience filled with adventure, teamwork, and support, and the 'Strike Group' brings all these aspects to life in the most realistic ways possible."

Before the air show, the "Strike Group" will stop at Central Union High School (CUHS) on March 13.
