Virtual Environment Training (VET) is a computerized training system that allows peace keeping forces (military, police, SWAT teams, etc.) to train for peacekeeping missions using an immersive virtual-reality system.

The current system allows a trainee to train in a roadblock situation - a roadblock has been set up to try to find a suspected criminal.
