Abstract: In teaching and learning of making the decision in military environment require an efficient and effective interaction and control in order for learners to actively participate in conducting an operation. In this day and age, people are exposed to mixed reality concept in line with the growth of software application technology where people started to demand on their needs for applications used. In fact, software application has shown a rapid development in computing technology world regarding processing power, memory capacity and battery life simultaneously with the new technology supplied such as improvement of the connectivity, external peripherals, GPS and location-based services. This paper proposed the implementation of mixed reality technology specifically on 3 Dimensional (3D) geospatial terrain and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) as the tool and platform to conduct the learning of military decision making in an operation. The research was carried out to determine the appropriate elements and features of mixed reality for this application consists of virtual elements; mixed reality space and interaction; reaction and interaction within 3D mixed reality object. The technology of mixed reality is considered to provide an effective and efficient 3D map that learners can interact and control for military operation using the platform of MOOC.
