A Framework for Incorporating Affective Learning in Virtual Training Environments Quad Chart Narrative Briefing Capabilities BrochureKeywords: Immersive training, affective state detection/induction, lesson plan, virtual environments Abstract: Founded in 1999, this company has developed a novel technology that incorporates affective learning capability into virtual environment (VE) based training systems to enhance existing training simulation frameworks through the integration of affective state assessment and feedback mechanisms. The technology dynamically monitors a trainee's affective state and then uses emotional state induction techniques to drive the trainee's emotional state towards the target emotional state specified in the lesson plan. The technology is currently being customized for warfighter training simulators, it however can be applied to any other types of virtual environment based training systems such as medical crew training or aviation training. The company seeks relationships with software and hardware contractors and Defense Program Managers to expand this integration to various VE based training systems.
