Handbook of Augmented Reality Training Design Principles

'This handbook lays out the foundations of skilled decision making and cognitive performance, focusing on recognition skills as fundamental. Designing training for developing and improving cognitive performance has been a hidden practice offered by only a very few pioneering researchers and practitioners until now. This book opens the lid on how to do this effectively based on both cutting-edge theory and models in cognitive performance, as well as an understanding of the technology offering. Every technology company investing money into developing these technology-driven mixed-reality training systems should be reading this to ensure relevance, utility, usability, and adoption to their training organisation customers.' Rob Hutton, University of the West of England, UK 'Augmented reality applications are unlikely to have an impact without guidelines for putting the technology into practice, and that's what this book delivers. It is clearly written, with a number of good examples. This book's implications extend beyond augmented reality - implications for anyone wanting to improve training programs.' Gary Klein, Cognitive Psychologist and CEO of ShadowBox LLC 'Finally! A gem of a handbook on how to design virtual learning experiences. Building on the science of learning, this handbook offers practical guidance to create training that makes a difference and works. A must source for scientists, instructional designers, practitioners, and for all who engineer technology-based learning environments.' Eduardo Salas, Rice University, USA
