“…In the context of aviation, Vaden and Hall (2005), as well as Bürki-Cohen, Sparko, and Go (2007) commented that a motion chair may offer many of the advantages of motion platforms without the disadvantage of high costs. With alternative motion cues, which are not (primarily) aimed at stimulating the vestibular organs, there is a potential to provide fully proportional and sustained acceleration feedback.…”

“…An investigation by Mollenhauer et al (2004) showed that a motion seat had a positive effect on driving performance and the subjective experience of realism, irrespective of the motion tuning parameters. Bürki-Cohen et al (2007) showed that a simulator with a motion seat may be useful for training airline pilots. In fighter jet simulation, motion seats, such as the ALCOGS (Advanced Low Cost G-cueing System, Heintzman, 1996; see also Flach et al, 1986;Martin, 1986) have been used to feed back information about the state of the aircraft.…”

Motion platforms can be used to provide vestibular cues in a driving simulator, and have been shown to reduce driving speed and acceleration. However, motion platforms are expensive devices, and alternatives for providing motion cues need to be investigated. In independent experiments, the following eight low-cost nonvestibular motion cueing systems were tested by comparing driver performance to control groups driving with the cueing system disengaged: (1) seat belt tensioning system, (2) vibrating steering wheel, (3) motion seat, (4) screeching tire sound, (5) beeping sound, (6) road noise, (7) vibrating seat, and (8) pressure seat. The results showed that these systems are beneficial in reducing speed and acceleration and that they improve lane-keeping and/or stopping accuracy. The seat belt tensioning system had a particularly large influence on driver braking performance. This system reduced driving speed, increased stopping distance, reduced maximum deceleration, and increased stopping accuracy. It is concluded that low-cost nonvestibular motion cueing may be a welcome alternative for improving in-simulator performance so that it better matches real-world driving performance.

“…A report by McCauley (2006) on motion‐based simulations found no evidence that motion platforms increased training effectiveness, and thus instructional design was more important than physical fidelity. Others have noted that current technology does not allow for accurate motion cues (Bürki‐Cohen et al ., 2007). Essentially, the tool is not the answer to creating meaningful learning experiences, but rather sound design for the selected multimedia delivery mechanism.…”

Computer-based training (CBT) is a methodology for providing systematic, structured learning; a useful tool when properly designed. CBT has seen a resurgence given the serious games movement, which is at the forefront of integrating primarily entertainment computer-based games into education and training. This effort represents a multidisciplinary integration and application of lessons learned from human factors, multimedia design, as well as training effectiveness literatures. The authors suggest 10 practical considerations for CBT design and development, designed to challenge traditionally held beliefs about CBT effectiveness based on previous CBT failures of the 1960s/ 1970s. These practical considerations are critical to the continued evolution of CBT and should be considered during design and development to most effectively capitalize on the advantages that CBT can offer.led to an explosion of interest in e-learning. Yet this change in training and development comes with a price. Although substantial cost savings can be realized, there are upfront costs (i.e. significant developer time compared with face-to-face courses). As organizations turn towards e-learning options, HR personnel must ensure money is spent wisely. Sometimes the lure of what seems to be exciting training overshadows what really matters -good training.

“…These estimates included procurement, maintenance, and electricity but did not include costs for the construction and maintenance of a facility that can accommodate the size and weight of the system, nor did the estimates include the cost of labour associated with running the system. Thus, the actual cost of using a high-fidelity motion system may be much greater than estimated (Burki- Cohen, Sparko & Go, 2007).…”

“…Given the high price of operating a high-fidelity motion system, researchers have explored the option of using alternative, lower-fidelity motion systems that come at a lower cost (Burki- Cohen et al, 2007). Dynamic motion seats were explored as a possible alternative to platform motion in early motion fidelity research (Lee & Bussolari, 1989); however, technological limitations such as limited degrees of freedom (traditionally, motion seats only functioned along the vertical and longitudinal axes) prevented their widespread acceptance.…”

Simulators are more commonly being used to train vehicle operators (pilots, drivers) because they offer a cost-effective alternative to real-world training. Many simulation environments now use motion and/or motion cueing to enhance the realism of the simulation. However, given that our visual system is dominant (i.e., if our eyes tell us that we are moving, then we believe that we are moving), it is not clear that motion is critical for improving simulation-based operator training. The purpose of this study is therefore to assess the extent to which the visual system plays a role in perceiving simulation-based motion. Task: In this study, you will be seated and secured in a motion seat positioned in front of a largescreen monitor. A horizon line will appear on the monitor and will tilt either to the left or the right. The line tilt will be accompanied by a motion cue from the seat that will make you feel like you are tilting either left or right by varying degrees. Your task is to judge the magnitude of the motion cue and to determine whether the tilted horizon line was consistent or inconsistent with the motion cue. In some cases, the horizontal line will not be visible, in which case you will be asked to only judge the magnitude of the motion cue. All responses will be made using a button
