ABSTRACT
Motivation -- To assess the physical and performance fidelity and the efficacy (transfer of training) afforded by digitally created images to be used in a low cost NVG training simulator.
Research approach -- 48 students were split into 4 groups and subjected to 3 tests, namely physical fidelity of image test, object recognition test and transfer of training test using 2 existing methods of NVG training as benchmarks. Performance accuracy and time were used as measures.
Findings/Design -- The results reveal that the low cost training simulator is a promising alternative to current methods of training involving an actual NVG.
Research limitations/Implications -- Only students participated in the study. Learning effects can not be totally excluded and accurate subjective responses to the low cost NVG training simulator could not be assessed.
Originality/Value -- The low cost NVG training simulator is the first of its kind. The research helps in advancing a case to minimise the use of actual flight and NVGs in training. This reduces training costs and ensures training safety.
Take away message -- The low cost NVG training simulator is feasible and promising. Digitally created simulated NVG images are valid.
