Skill Training in Multimodal Virtual Environments

Skill Training in Multimodal Virtual Environments

The advent of augmented reality technologies used to assist human operators in complex manipulative operations—has brought an urgency to research into the modeling and training of human skills in Virtual Environments. However modeling a specific act still represents a challenge in cognitive science. The same applies for the control of humanoid robots and the replication of skilled behavior of avatars in Virtual Environments. Skill Training in Multimodal Virtual Environments presents the scientific background research outcomes engineering developments and evaluation studies conducted during the five years (2006-2011) of the project SKILLS–Multimodal Interfaces for Capturing and Transfer of Skill funded by the European Commission under its 6th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. The SKILLS project evaluated how to exploit robotics and virtual environment technologies for the training of specific skills. This book details the novel approach used in the study to cope with skill acquisition setting aside the mainstream assumptions of common computer-assisted training simulators. It explores how the SKILLS approach generated new training scenarios that allow users to practice new experiences in the performance of the devised task. Using a carefully designed approach that balances science with practicality the book explores how virtual and augmented reality systems can be designed to address the skill transfer and training in different application contexts. The application of the same roadmap to skills originating from domains such as sports rehabilitation industrial environment and surgery sets this book apart. It demonstrates how technology-oriented training conditions can yield better results than more traditional training conditions.

Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide

Providing a practical guide to the training and assessment of non-technical skills within high-risk industries this book will be of direct interest to safety and training professionals working within aviation healthcare rail maritime and other high-risk industries. Currently each of these industries are working to integrate non-technical skills into their training and certification processes particularly in light of increasing international regulation in this area. However there is no definitive guidance to assist practitioners within these areas with the design of effective non-technical skills training and assessment programs. This book sets out to fully meet this need. It has been designed as a practically focussed companion to the 2008 book Safety at the Sharp End by Flin O'Connor and Crichton. While Safety at the Sharp End provides the definitive exploration of the need for non-technical skills training and examines in detail the main components of non-technical skills as they relate to safe operations the text does not focus on the nuts and bolts of designing training and assessment programs. To this end Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills: A Practical Guide provides an extension of this work and a fitting companion text. | Training and Assessing Non-Technical Skills A Practical Guide
