许多研究探讨了学习的过程及其在培训和教育中的有效性。协同虚拟环境研究虚拟现实环境下的飞机疏散，可以作为一种教育培训工具。我们相信，人们通过真实的生活体验学习效果最好，而存在感是在虚拟环境中培养出来的，虚拟环境可以提供真实世界的知识和经验。我们提出的多用户环境由飞机、机场、跑道和控制塔组成。在现实世界中无法评估的恐慌或紧张情况下，有必要进行虚拟疏散演习的虚拟现实实验。使用协作虚拟环境运行紧急疏散的虚拟疏散演习消除了参与者受伤的风险，并允许测试由于法律问题和可能对参与者造成的健康风险而无法在现实生活中测试的场景。我们的贡献在于我们的方法结合了计算机模拟代理和用户控制的自主代理在协作虚拟环境中执行虚拟疏散演习。本研究的结果可以用来衡量当前程序、协议的有效性，以及航空公司和安全人员培训的有效性。
Numerous studies have explored the process of learning and its effectiveness in training and education. Collaborative virtual environment for studying aircraft evacuations in virtual reality environment can be used as an education and training tool. We believe that people learn best through real life experiences and that a sense of presence is developed in a virtual environment that can provide real world knowledge and experience. Our proposed multiuser environment consists of aircrafts, an airport, runways, and a control tower. Virtual reality experiments with virtual evacuation drills are necessary to study human behavior under panic or stressful situations that cannot be evaluated in the real world. The use of collaborative virtual environments to run virtual evacuation drills for an emergency evacuation eliminates risk of injury to participants and allows for the testing of scenarios that could not be tested in real life due to legal issues and possible health risks to participants. Our contribution lies in our approach to combine computer simulated agents and user controlled autonomous agents in a collaborative virtual environment to perform virtual evacuation drills. Results from this study can be used to measure the effectiveness of current procedures, protocols, and the effectiveness of training for airline and security personals.
