What are the simulation-based training trends?
Technical companies that are required to train employees on dangerous or expensive equipment are most likely to benefit from simulation-based training. Simulations allow the user to observe the impact of their choices without the outcomes having any impact on the real operation (Smith1999). Trainees can learn how to respond to emergencies, how individual actions and decisions effect entire processes, and how to operate complex pieces of equipment. Figure 1. Simulated Airplane cockpit. The airplane cockpit simulation takes on a new approach to simulation training. The user has the opportunity to observe how all the components of the cockpit work together. This approach allows the user to gain a persepctive of the interactions and correlations between the numerous components contained in an airplane cockpit. This type of system development can support a great variety of training needs. The simulation gears the user to focus on the integration, interaction, and correlation of all the comp
