In recent years, the increased use of simulation for the training of surgical skills has improved the medical curriculum and the overall patient outcome. Advances in hardware and simulation techniques have resulted in many commercial applications for training technical skills. However, most of these simulators are extremely expensive and do not consider non-technical skills like teamwork and communication...
We assessed the effects of the addition of dynamic visual elements and sounds to a levee patroller training game on the appraisal of the environment and weather conditions, the engagement of the users and their performance. Results show that the combination of visual dynamics and sounds best conveys the impression of severe weather conditions and most strongly influences the appraisal of the environment...
This work reports results obtained with the use of a game engine as a virtual simulation tool for dose assessment in nuclear plants, using on-line measurements. Since the game engine used has networking capabilities, measurement data is collected from real radiation monitors installed in a nuclear plant, to represent the radiation dose rate in pre-defined areas within the virtual environment, and...
