Technical Evaluation Report: Human Dimensions In Embedded Virtual Simulation

Abstract

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Research and Technology Organization (RTO) organized and conducted a workshop on human factors and performance issues related to embedded virtual simulation (EVS). The workshop was held on 20 - 22 October 20, 2009 at the University of Central Florida - Institute for Simulation and Training (UCF - IST) in Orlando, Florida. The purpose was to address human effectiveness issues related to application of EVS to the military domain. Papers were presented describing the current state of EVS technology. The conference participants generally agreed that technological and conceptual advances have led to the increased utility and effectiveness of EVS. At the same time, participants also noted that the technology has not been generally accepted by system and training developers. Reasons for the resistance to adopt EVS were identified, and a possible way forward was discussed.
