This represents a series of experiments I worked on at the Army Research Institute. We constructed several tasks for participants to perform in VR, to determine the effects of task components on training.

While at ARI, I worked on a project to teach spatial navigation abilities in virtual environments.  This is one of the environments we created.

While at the University of Houston, we tested how well people can learn to navigate as a team. This is an environment we required participants to explore.

These pictures show a virtual world that we constructed to resemble the Administrative Science Building at UAH. After my student built the model, we used it to train firefighters to perform a mock rescue.

This work was done as my doctoral dissertation effort at UCF. As you can see in the picture, I examined people's response patterns as they were presented with true and false alarms on a computer.
