What is Essential for Virtual Reality to Meet Military Performance Goals. Performance Measurement in VR

Abstract

One of the unique attributes and potentially greatest assets of virtual environments is the unique ability to comprehensively measure human performance. In the real environment measuring human behaviors is usually though not always feasible and typically extremely effort intensive and cost-prohibitive. Similarly there is substantial environmental variability that can have pervasive effects on human performance. but is beyond any feasible. economic data capture. Virtual environments instill the capability for comprehensively monitoring both user inputs and interactions and the environment (as well as control the virtual environment and thereby eliminating confounding variables with precision beyond that of real environment lab research).
