For human factors professionals, Vincenzi, a research psychologist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division, et al. assemble 21 chapters that cover human factors issues in using simulation tools and training. Contributors working in technology, psychology, engineering, cognitive science, and aviation in the military and at universities and companies in the US discuss the application of human factors principles in generating, facilitating, and improving simulation, and how simulation itself can address human factors issues such as training, design, evaluation, testing, and visualization. Theory and application are covered, as are areas such as traditional training, augmented reality, virtual reality, surface ships, submarines, naval and commercial aviation, space, and issues such as fidelity, interfaces and control devices, transfer of training, simulator sickness, and effects of motion.
