Design and Evaluation of Augmented Reality and VR-based Task Simulators

The proposal is part of an overarching research programme on the design and implementation of 3D visualization techniques for task-based training simulators. The Engineering Design process that we follow is classical, in that it includes a formal task analysis as part of the requirements elicitation stage, along with analysis at the information-processing level before software architecture and hardware deployment lead to implementation. Our approach, in addition, stresses the development of systematic user-centred evaluation methodologies, using paradigms adapted from pure Science-based research in human perception, cognition, and action. In other words, we consider the design of task-based simulators to be an enterprise within the Software Engineering domain of Human-Computer Interface Design.  We are working with the following partners on these projects:
