Abstract
The Virtual Environment Research, Interactive Technology, And Simulation (VERITAS) facility is designed to support basic and applied research in complex multisensory environments including: 3D audio displays for improving safety in general aviation flight operations, advanced audio displays for improving performance in combat search and rescue missions, basic and applied research on multisensory (audio/visual/haptic) interactions, and displays for instrument landing systems. The central component of the facility is a CAVE®, a room-sized virtual environment presentation system. Several of our multi-user distributed experiments also utilized a virtual environment display system in the Appenzeller Visualization Laboratory (AVL). The facilities include a set of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software solutions that work together with custom applications developed by our team to create immersive virtual environments. To facilitate software development and coherence, we created the Integrated Virtual Platform (IVP) as a flexible, expandable, and portable software platform for human performance experimentation. The experiments, experiences, and results in the VERITAS facility presented here, provide an example of a VE platform being actively used for human performance experimentation. The success of the research we have completed suggests that immersive virtual environments are useful tools in investigating complex human performance tasks.
