Popis:	The present study describes a Virtual Environment (VE) designed to train individuals to perform the role of a military checkpoint guard. Participants stood guard at a fictitious base in which simulated drivers in vehicles would approach seeking entrance. Participants were asked to inspect each vehicle, interact with the drivers, verify their identification, and make a decision to allow the driver to enter the base, to detain the vehicle, or to ask the driver to turn around and leave. The experiment was conducted in a CAVE™ with stereoscopic visual and auditory displays, participant tracking, and voice recognition. The results showed that participants were able to learn quite effectively in the VE with the biggest performance improvements seen in the areas of proper protocol and social influence. These findings suggest that VE technology holds promise for activities that are more like experience-based training and which place a greater emphasis on social interaction skills.
