The previous edition looked critically at the answers human factors would typically provide and compared/contrasted them with current research and insights at that time. Today, the unrelenting pace of technology change and growth of complexity calls for a different kind of safety thinking. This book..

The outcome of a five year European research program that focused on the development and transfer of human perceptual model skills trained in multimodal virtual and augmented reality platforms, this unique book outlines the domain of human training in virtual environments and presents a practical an..
