近年来，虚拟现实（VR），通常称为虚拟环境（VE），受到了培训开发人员的广泛关注。这在一定程度上是由于媒体对虚拟现实在娱乐行业的应用的夸大，但更重要的是，因为培训开发人员认识到虚拟现实作为灵活而有效的培训媒介的潜力。检查 VR 系统有效性的主要候选者是对水面潜艇的甲板军官 (OOD) 船舶操作进行培训。潜艇 OOD 船舶处理训练虚拟环境 (VESUB) 项目的开发是为了演示和评估基于 VR 的 OOD 训练系统的训练潜力。本文记录了 VESUB 培训师提供的培训的有效性以及在 VESUB 技术演示的培训效果评估期间从 42 名受训者和 12 名观察员获得的 VESUB 系统的主观评估。收集了 15 个船舶操纵变量的数据，分为 7 个技能类别。对方差设计进行重复测量分析，以情景会话（培训和测试）作为受试者内变量，发现 15 个变量中的 11 个变量具有显着的学习效果（船舶操作任务的技能提高）。受训者和观察员填写了一份意见调查表，其中包括强制选择和开放式问题。 87% 的学员和 100% 的观察员表示 VESUB 系统提供了积极的学习体验。 92% 的学员和 99% 的观察员认为 VESUB 将增强他们对船舶操作技能的信心。提供了有关如何使用这些技术的舰队建议以及对系统组件的评估。
In recent years, virtual reality (VR), often called virtual environments (VE), has received an enormous amount of attention among training developers. This is due in part to media hyperbole over applications of VR in the entertainment industry, but even more so, because training developers recognize the potential of VR as a flexible and effective training medium. A prime candidate for examining the effectiveness of VR systems is the training of Officer of the Deck (OOD) ship handling for the surfaced submarine. The Virtual Environment for Submarine OOD Ship-Handling Training (VESUB) project was developed to demonstrate and evaluate the training potential of a VR-based system for OOD training. This article documents the effectiveness of the training provided by the VESUB trainer and the subjective assessments of the VESUB system obtained from 42 trainees and 12 observers during the Training Effectiveness Evaluation of the VESUB technology demonstration. Data were collected on 15 ship-handling variables grouped into 7 skill categories. A repeated measures analysis of variance design, with scenario session (training and testing) as the within-subjects variable, found significant learning (skill improvements on ship-handling tasks) on 11 of the 15 variables. Trainees and observers filled out an opinion questionnaire consisting of forced-choice and open-ended questions. Eighty-seven percent of the trainees and 100% of the observers indicated that the VESUB system provided a positive learning experience. Ninety-two percent of the trainees and 99% of the observers believed that VESUB would increase their confidence in their ship-handling skills. Fleet recommendations on how these technologies should be used and assessments of system components are provided.
