Team and Collective Performance Measurement

Abstract

The measurement of operator performance has for some time formed the basis of research for those engaged in the field of human system interaction and the use of virtual reality (VR). Performance measurement is particularly relevant when the desire is to develop methods and metrics to assess the utility of VR for training purposes and to predict how well that training will then transfer to the real world. Performance measurement becomes even more critical when the VR application is used in a military context, e.g., in preparation for conflict. This chapter provides descriptions of some of the methods and measures used for measuring task and mission performance in virtual environments. As one of the challenges inherent in assessment of VR is the measurement of team and collective performance, this is the primary focus of the chapter.
