Abstract

A Call for Fire is a complex task requiring specialized training and is performed by a Joint Forward Observer (JFO). As newer technologies become available, innovative ways of incorporating mixed reality into simulation-based training becomes possible. One such approach is through augmented virtuality (AV). AV mixes a heavily virtual environment with interactive objects in the real world, which differs from augmented reality in that the latter overlays virtual elements into a representation of the real world. An AV Call for Fire Simulator was developed in order to assess the efficacy of AV technology for simulation-based training in the JFO training course. This paper describes a training effectiveness evaluation conducted to assess the overall effectiveness of AV integration into current training standards and methodologies.
