The authors examine issues of simulation and their effect on the validity and functionality of simulators as a training device. The chapters contain in depth discussions of these particular characteristics and issues. They also incorporate theories pertaining to the motivational aspects of training, simulation of social events, and PC based simulation. This book focuses on the human aspects of wearable technologies and game design which are often neglected. It shows how user centered practices can optimize wearable experience thus improving user acceptance satisfaction and engagement towards novel wearable gadgets. It describes both research and best practices in the applications of human factors and ergonomics to sensors wearable technologies and game design innovations as well as results obtainednbsp upon integration of the wearability principles identified by various researchers for aesthetics affordance comfort contextual-awareness customization ease of use ergonomy intuitiveness obtrusiveness information overload privacy reliability responsiveness satisfaction subtlety user friendliness and wearability. The book is based on the AHFE 2018 Conference on Human Factors and Wearable Technologies and the AHFE 2018 Conference on Human Factors in Game Design and Virtual Environments held on July 21821125 2018 in Orlando Florida and addresses professionals researchers and students dealing with the human aspects of wearable smart and/or interactive technologies and game design research. This book focuses on the importance of human factors in optimizing the learning and training process. It reports on the latest research and best practices and discusses key principles of behavioral and cognitive science which are extremely relevant to the design of instructional content and new technologies to support mobile and multimedia learning virtual training and web-based learning among others as well as performance measurements social and adaptive learning and many other types of educational technologies with a special emphasis on those important in the corporate higher education and military training contexts. Based on the AHFE 2018 Conference on Human Factors in Training Education and Learning Sciences held July 21821125 2018 in Orlando Florida USA on July 21821125 2018 the book offers a timely perspective on the role of human factors in education. It highlights important new ideas and will fosters new discussions on how to optimally design learning experiences. Rapid advancements in train control and in-cab technologies provide significant opportunities for rail operators to improve efficiency and enhance their operations. New technologies often provide elegant solutions to existing problems or new capabilities for the operator. However new technologies may also represent a significant form of risk. Thus it is important to balance the potential for significant improvement with justifiable concern about how the technology may unpredictably change the nature of the work. If a technology is designed and implemented without considering the substantive human factors concerns that technology may lead to unintended consequences that can introduce safety issues and disrupt network performance. It is important to note that even a well-designed and beneficial technology may be rejected by the users who see it as a threat to their jobs status or working conditions.This book discusses the issues surrounding rail technology and introduces a 8216toolkit8217 of human factors evaluation methods. The toolkit provides a practical and operationally focused set of methods that can be used by managers considering investing in technology staff charged with implementing a technology and consultants engaged to assist with the design and evaluation process. This toolkit can help to ensure that new rail technologies are thoughtfully designed effectively implemented and well received by users so that the significant investment associated with developing rail technologies is not wasted.
