• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A complete examination of issues and concepts relating to human factors in simulation, this book covers theory and application in space, ships, submarines, naval aviation, and commercial aviation. The authors examine the validity and functionality of simulators as a training device. The book provides advanced understanding of training techniques and methods and discusses methods of fidelity, interfaces and control devices, transfer of training, simulator sickness, and effects of motion on simulator systems. It also incorporates theories pertaining to the motivational aspects of training, simulation of social events, and PC based simulation.
