“…Tests of their system showed better learning results from an immersive environment than a web-based environment. 24 They also showed that greater interaction in the simulations produced a better sense of location in the game.…”

The need for cultural training for members of the military, and supporting government and industrial organizations, has become more important because of the increasing expectations of effective collaborations between people of different cultures in order to achieve common security objectives. Additionally, the number and mix of countries, and cultural groups within those countries, make traditional classroom training less feasible. While good simulations have been built for cultural understanding, they have not been developed widely or used for pre-deployment training. This paper describes and evaluates an avatar-based game for pre-deployment training. The game is built around two scenarios from the Afghan culture: a market scenario, and a local leadership council scenario. The game also allows participants to reverse roles and play the part of an Afghan interacting with an American solider. To evaluate this avatar-based game, we developed an experimental design to test the effectiveness of the game versus commonly used video instruction, and to test the effectiveness of role reversals in training with games. Results show that participants trained with the avatarbased game had significantly improved understanding of Afghan culture (p < 0:01). However, role reversal did not improve performance. Additionally, responses to a questionnaire showed that participants in the avatar-based game had a much greater appreciation for their understanding of the Afghan culture than the more video-trained control group.

“…In the development of virtual simulation experiments in the field of cultural heritage, in 2010, P.A. Fishwick and others built the Second China Project as a hybrid immersive, knowledge-based software platform for Chinese cultural training [6]. E. Selmanovi ć and others added interactive digital stories to a virtual simulation system related to the diving tradition of the Old Bridge in Mostar, and conducted a user experience evaluation to prove that this method can create empathy among participants [7].…”

Based on the research of intangible cultural heritage, this study summarizes and organizes the non-heritage knowledge of the bamboo paper making techniques of the JIJIANG River, takes the characteristics of virtual simulation experiment into reasonable consideration, and carries out the design of the virtual simulation experiment platform of the bamboo paper making techniques of the JIANG River based on the BOPPPS teaching model and task-driven teaching method. The platform includes the integration of the theoretical basic knowledge of the technique of making bamboo paper and the establishment of a 3D virtual scene of the paper-making workshop one by one. By combining the techniques of paper making with virtual simulation technology, students can be highly immersed in the “experiment” and motivated and motivated to learn. At the same time, it enriches the way of preserving and passing on the craft, leading users to explore it actively and enhancing their sense of participation. It also provides a reference for the preservation and transmission of other intangible cultural heritage, especially traditional crafts, in the virtual simulation experiment environment.

“…The way in which model components are shown, and interacted with, can be determined only through social and behavioural research methods. Recently, as part of two experiments (Fishwick et al, 2010), we introduced two different stimuli-one web-based and the other an immersive environment not unlike the one shown in Figure 5. While results from one experiment and specific context cannot be uniformly generalized to other contexts, our team found some interesting results in terms of memory and gender.…”

Models used in simulation tend to be disconnected from reality and from related models. Ideally, we should like to interact with models as if they were web assets containing extensive hyperlinking and cross-connections. In practice, these inter-connections with respect to the human-model interface are lacking and need to be improved. For example, interacting with a term within a mathematical model is rarely possible. Without such interaction, the full semantics of the term, including its real-world meaning, appearance, and source code implementation, are difficult to identify. The same model may appear in several separate locations: electronic documentation, formula-oriented software, slides, source code. Without the proper connections, model semantics can drift. Also, multiple models are generally required to view different aspects of reality, and to ensure that the right model medium is used for the people that need to understand that model. We introduce the term, hypermodel, to include interaction within models, among models, and between human and model. The discussion of hypermodelling is presented with a special focus on research performed at the University of Florida over the past 20 years.
