Intelligent DecisionMaking in Training Based on Virtual Reality

  • Chapter
Computational Intelligence in Complex Decision Systems

Part of the book series: Atlantis Computational Intelligence Systems ((ATLANTISCIS,volume 2))

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is an evolving area for simulation and training applications. The area is related to realistic and interactive experiments in real time computational systems. Those systems generate data and information that can be used to intelligent decision making, as skills evaluation related to dexterity and reasoning power in critical procedures.
